Gold rate today in India

The rate comes from the bullion trade's association, which sets it from prices polled from dealers, refiners, importers and jewellers twice a working day, around noon and around 5 pm. The page shows the afternoon rate. On Saturdays, Sundays and holidays no rate is set, so the last one stands until the next.

Carat measures purity on a scale of 24. Pure gold is 24 carat, 99.9% gold (999 fine). 22 carat is 91.6% gold, 18 carat 75% and 14 carat 58.5%, the rest being other metals that make the gold harder. 995 fine is gold bars of 99.5% purity. The lower-carat rates in the table are the 24 carat rate scaled by purity, and a dash means no rate was set for that column on that day.

The benchmark includes import duty but excludes GST and making charges. GST on gold is 3%. Making charges are set by each jeweller and vary with design. India raised the total import duty on gold from 6% to 15% in 2026, which lifted the domestic base price.

Gold trades worldwide in US dollars per troy ounce (about 31.1 grams). The Indian rate converts that price to rupees and 10 grams, then adds import duty and local trade premiums or discounts. It therefore moves with both the international gold price and the rupee-dollar rate.

Gold jewellery sold in India carries a BIS hallmark that states its purity grade, which lets a buyer check it. The benchmark rate here is for pure gold and does not measure a piece's hallmark.
