Private sector lender, Dhanlaxmi Bank has forayed in to the silver retailing business. Earlier last year the bank entered in to the wholesale business of silver.

Head, Insurance, Gold & Silver, Dhanlaxmi Bank, Mr. Deepak Singh said, "The launch of 'Dhan' silver bars has been prompted by the success of the bank's gold retailing business. With this launch, we foresee further traction and aim to become one of the leading players in the bullion business in the next couple of years."

Customers will be offered silver bars as 50 and 100 grams. The bars can be bought at all the branches of the bank across the country.
