Gold continues to be an immense asset for investment in India and a continuing traditional and cultural asset in India. Prices move daily, depending on the strength of the global gold price, the rupee’s strength, demand during festivals, Government import duties, and much more. Let us look into the current gold rates and currency exchange rates and much more latest updates in major Indian cities and explain what is driving some of these prices.
Current Gold Rates in Major Cities
The gold rate for 24 carat, 22 carat, and 18 carat gold is given below on a Gram basis. The rates below are the latest (15 September 2025) approximate rates in major metropolitan cities in India – taxes borne locally by consumers remain undisclosed below, unless specific to local taxes, jeweller making charges, or additional levies.
To provide context for larger quantities: 10 grams of 24K gold in a lot of these cities is now between โน1,10,000โโโโน1,11,500, depending on the city.
What is Causing the Price Increases
There are many reasons why these prices are high:
- Global Trends
The price of gold internationally (in dollars) is a major influence on Indian domestic prices. Indian prices follow increases in the international price of gold. If the US dollar appreciates relative to the rupee, imported gold will also become more expensive. - Rupee Strength / Weakness
With much of the gold being imported, a weak rupee increases the cost price, and a strong rupee means relief. - Demand Cycles
Festivals, wedding seasons, and other occasions rapidly increase demand and prices. Buyers appreciate this and often buy early. - Taxes, Import Duties, and Local Charges
Duties, GST, making charges, etc, are different by state and jewel, making the final price you pay vary city-to-city, especially if the cost of raw gold is the same. Additionally, local competition and shipping influence markup.
What This Means for You
- If you are looking to buy gold (jewellery, investment, etc.), comparing per-gram prices between cities is a good start, but remember also to assess making charges and local taxes, as applicable.
- It may also help to wait for better times (e.g., rupee stronger, or just after global ticker Dips in gold, if you can).
- For sellers, or potential gold investors, keep in mind that gains often depend on two things: gold price gains and how effectively you buy/sell factoring local expenses, etc.
Today, gold prices across Indian metropolises are at nearly historic highs, particularly for 24 carat gold, with most cities showing similar rates for raw gold per gram. That said, small differences do still exist between cities due to local conditions. So, for everyday buyers, those small differences (making charges, taxes, etc.) can make a huge difference.
