Muthoot Exim Launches India’s 1st Mobile Gold Buying Vehicle

Muthoot Exim Pvt. Ltd, the precious metals division of the 129-year-old Muthoot Pappachan Group, has launched ‘’Mobile Muthoot Gold Point,” a mobile gold buying vehicle that will help customers who wish to sell gold do so at their doorstep.

A first of its kind initiative, the vehicle will reach out to customers who want the convenience of being able to sell their gold in a transparent, safe and legal manner at a place of their choice, the Company said in a press note. It is an on-call service which reaches the doorsteps of those who want to sell their old gold.

The gold received for buyback will be valued instantly either through the XRF technology as well as melting of the gold (if required and agreed upon by the customers). Cash will be paid instantly for transactions valued at below Rs 20,000 while for sums in excess of that the money will be immediately transferred to the customer’s account via IMPS, NEFT or RTGS. Appointments can be booked at 7356534111 or 9321171122 between 10:30am to 7.00pm.

The mobile service is an extension of the nine  Muthoot Gold Point branches recently opened across India (Coimbatore, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Vijayawada and Madurai) for transparent sale of old gold.

Thomas George Muthoot, Director, Muthoot Pappachan Group, said: “We have always been at the forefront of innovation and this is our latest endeavour. It is in sync with the government’s vision to recycle as much gold as possible. I am sure this latest innovation will be well received as it provides a hassle-free atmosphere for anyone wanting to sell their used gold.”

Thomas Muthoot, Executive Director, Muthoot Pappachan Group, said: “We ensure fully transparent process and very competitive rates for the customers’ used/new jewellery. I am sure that this latest offering from the Group will be a revolution in gold business in the country.”

Keyur Shah, Chief Executive Officer, Muthoot Precious Metals Division said:  “Now people don’t even need to go out of their homes in order to sell their used/old gold in a safe & secure manner. The on-call vehicle features hi-tech equipment and safety measures with multi-level scientific testing of gold. They can see the step-by-step process of valuation themselves.”

Muthoot Exim has tied up with Sequel Logistics, the leading secured solutions provider with the largest network in India, for the security of the “Mobile Muthoot Gold Point” vehicle.
