Ameerpet Metro's Latest Addition: Goldsikka's Gold ATM Reshaping Accessibility

 

December 29th, 2023 marked a historic moment for Hyderabad as Goldsikka Limited inaugurated the city's maiden gold ATM at the bustling Ameerpet Metro Station. The event was graced by dignitaries such as Mr. P Ravi Shankar, Vice President and head of TOD (Transit-Oriented Development), Project Planning, Control & Contracts, joined by Mr. K V Nagendra Prasad, Head of TOD Operation, Retail Leasing, and Advertising, alongside Ms. K Sujatha, the Joint General Manager-TOD representing L&TMRHL.

This state-of-the-art ATM simplifies the process of buying Gold and Silver Coins and has a storage capacity of 5kgs of gold. Ranging from 0.5 grams to 20 grams for gold and 10 grams to 100 grams for silver. Each coin is 24-carat gold and 999 certified.

What sets this innovation apart is its acceptance of various payment methods, including debit cards, credit cards or UPI, ensuring convenience aligned with diverse financial preferences.

One of the remarkable features of this ATM is its real-time display of prices directly from the esteemed London Bullion Market. This transparent approach ensures customers are aware of the exact pricing, excluding taxes. Moreover, each purchase is meticulously dispensed in tamper-proof cards, accompanied by a purity certificate and a GST invoice, guaranteeing the authenticity and value of the precious metals acquired. Equipped with a built-in camera and sound system, the Gold ATM offers added security measures.

 

Mr. Hafsa Taruj, one of the directors of Goldsikka, expressed, "Goldsikka Gold ATM is very feasible and convenient for the common man as they do not need to go to jewellery showrooms hesitantly for minute quantities of gold".

 This installation signifies a significant step toward enhancing accessibility and convenience for individuals seeking gold and silver acquisitions. Ameerpet Metro Station now stands as a symbol of innovation, seamlessly integrating technology and accessibility.
