About the Silver Market in Coimbatore
Coimbatore is a backend manufacturing centre for silver jewellery, supplying finished pieces to retailers across Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The city has one of India's highest rates of silver-backed loans โ many local finance companies specialise in silver pledging, unlike the rest of India where gold loans dominate. This unique silver-as-collateral economy makes silver a working financial asset in Coimbatore rather than just a decorative metal. Silver pooja vessels and lamps are manufactured here in bulk for temple supply chains across South India, making Coimbatore a critical node in India's temple silver ecosystem.
