All prices/rates listed are exclusive of applicable Goods and Services Tax (GST) and jewellers' making charges in India. Prices represent the national India spot rate in Indian Rupees (₹/INR), rounded to the nearest rupee, and are uniformly applicable across all cities in India, following the standard pricing basis used by Indian bullion and jewellery markets.
Gold Price Calculator
Gold in India is quoted per gram across purity tiers, from 24 Karat (24K, 999 purity, the standard for investment) down to 18 Karat (18K, 750 purity, common in studded jewellery); jewellery uses a lower purity because pure gold needs to be alloyed with other metals for hardness. The rate shown here is the national spot price, before GST, making charges, or any jeweller's markup, so expect to pay more at the counter. That spot price itself tracks the international gold market, converted to rupees at the day's USD/INR exchange rate - a weaker rupee pushes the domestic price up even when the dollar gold price hasn't moved.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does gold price differ by city?
The base rate is the same nationwide, it tracks the international gold market and the day's USD/INR exchange rate, but local jeweller associations add their own making charges and taxes on top, which is what actually varies by city.
What is the difference between 24K, 22K and 18K gold?
The number is purity: 24K is about 99.9% pure gold, too soft for most jewellery; 22K (91.6% pure) is the standard for Indian jewellery; 18K (75% pure) is mixed with more alloy for durability and costs less per gram.
How often does the gold price update?
The rate on this page tracks the live international gold market and the day's exchange rate, updated through each trading day rather than once daily.
Is the price shown here what I'll pay at a jewellery shop?
No. This is the base per-gram rate before a jeweller's making charges, GST and any wastage deduction are added, so the final shop price will run higher than the number shown here.
What is Gold Price & How It's Set?
Gold price is simply how much one gram of gold costs in India on a given day, priced separately by purity so a 24 karat rate and an 18 karat rate for jewellery are never the same number. Few things get tracked as closely in Indian households: gold isn't just jewellery here, it's how many families save, insure against a falling rupee, and mark occasions like a wedding, a child's birth, or Dhanteras and Akshaya Tritiya, two days considered especially auspicious for buying it. A jump of even a few hundred rupees per 10 grams changes what a family budgets for a daughter's wedding set, and a dip right before Dhanteras can mean a genuine rush at jewellery shops that same evening. That's why so many people check today's rate before walking into a shop rather than after.
How Gold Price Works in India
Gold sold in India is graded by purity, or karat, from 24 karat (999 fine, the purest, used mainly for investment coins and bars) down to 22 karat (916, the standard for most gold jewellery, and the purity BIS hallmarking is built around) and 18 karat (750, common in stone-studded jewellery that needs a harder alloy to hold gems in place). The rate shown for any of these purities is the national spot price, before GST, making charges, or a jeweller's own markup, so the figure here will always be lower than what a shop actually quotes at the counter. What decides that spot price day to day is the international gold market combined with the day's US Dollar to Indian Rupee exchange rate. Gold trades globally in dollars, so when the rupee weakens against the dollar, the domestic price in India rises even if the international dollar price of gold hasn't moved at all, and a stronger rupee works the other way.
How to Interpret the Gold Price Numbers
There's no colour-coded safety scale for gold the way there is for AQI. What matters instead is the direction and size of the day's move against yesterday's close, shown here as a percentage change. A move of under half a percent in a day is routine market noise. A move of one to two percent is a meaningful shift worth noticing if you're planning a purchase soon. Anything sharper than that, gold occasionally moves several percent in a single day around a major global event like a US interest rate decision, is the kind of swing that makes waiting a few days, or buying immediately before a further rise, an actual decision rather than a coin flip.
Best Times to Check Gold Price & Decision Making
Gold prices in India are set once a day, in the morning, so checking first thing gives you that day's number rather than a stale one from the previous evening. Seasonally, demand and prices both tend to firm up around Akshaya Tritiya (April/May), Dhanteras and Diwali (October/November), and the wedding-heavy months of November to February, so buyers with flexibility often get a better rate shopping outside those windows. If a purchase isn't urgent, tracking the rate for a week or two before buying, rather than checking once and buying on impulse, is usually enough to catch a favourable dip. For a purchase tied to a specific date, like a Dhanteras buy, checking the rate that same morning still tells you exactly what you're paying versus the national average, even if the date itself isn't negotiable.
Why Gold Matters: Wealth, Weddings & Savings
Economic impact: Indian households collectively hold an estimated 25,000-plus tonnes of gold, by some counts the largest private gold stock of any country in the world, so gold isn't a niche investment here, it's a mainstream household saving instrument passed down through generations. A ₹1,000 move in the per-10-gram rate turns into a real ₹5,000 paper swing on a family's existing 50 grams of jewellery, and that swing compounds fast for households holding several hundred grams built up over decades. Gold is also common loan collateral: a farmer or small trader pledging jewellery for a quick gold loan gets a higher loan amount when the rate is up, since lenders size the loan against today's value, and a falling rate can mean a lender asking for extra collateral or part-repayment on an existing loan. Anyone about to pledge or sell gold for cash should compare today's rate against the past week's average rather than walking in on the first day they need the money, since even a two or three day wait can meaningfully change what the same jewellery is worth.
Wedding impact: Dhanteras is genuinely the single biggest gold-buying day of the year in India, industry bodies routinely report a sales spike concentrated on that one evening, and the November-to-February wedding season around it is when most Indian households make their largest single jewellery purchase, often running into several lakh rupees for a full bridal set. A 5 percent price swing on a budget that size is a real difference of tens of thousands of rupees in what a family can afford within a fixed budget, sometimes the difference between a heavier necklace and a lighter one, or between buying the full set now versus staggering it across two purchases. Families planning a wedding purchase months out are usually better off tracking the rate over several weeks, or buying a little at a time as an informal hedge, than waiting to buy everything on one fixed date when the rate isn't negotiable and the wedding date itself can't move to chase a better price.
