Banks and other importers had halted gold imports because there was no clarity despite attempts by the central bank and customs authorities to ease confusion. India, the world's largest gold consumer, imports nearly all the gold it consumes.
Shares of seven jewellery makers also rose on hopes of strong demand ahead of festival season. The festive season starts with the Durga Puja in October. The festival is followed by Dussehra and Diwali.
