Gold Price in India — Indicative 24K & 22K Estimates

How we calculate gold price on this page

The feed first estimates an Indian per-gram value from international gold and silver futures converted at the USD/INR rate, using fixed adjustments for local costs. If that feed is unavailable, it estimates from NSE-listed Gold BeES and Silver BeES prices with separate fixed adjustments. Gold BeES is priced at approximately 0.01 gram of gold per unit; ETF market prices can diverge from bullion and jewellery prices. The displayed 22K figure is simply 91.6% of the modelled 24K figure, before any shop-specific charges.

Check the fund manager's Gold BeES unit description for the approximate unit size. Our estimate is a site calculation, not an official IBJA or exchange spot quote.

These fixed adjustments are approximations and may become stale. The feed check time is when our server requested data, not necessarily the last exchange trade. A jeweller quote also depends on purity, making charges, wastage, applicable GST and local margins. Compare the final payable amount directly with the seller before buying.

How to compare gold, silver and stocks

Gold, silver and equities carry different risks. Gold does not produce income, silver prices reflect both investment and industrial demand, and stocks can suffer prolonged losses. Compare each with your goal date, cash needs, existing holdings and ability to tolerate a fall in value. To see why a fixed percentage is not suitable for everyone, consider these situations:

• Money needed for a payment next year may require liquidity and lower volatility rather than a large gold or stock position.
• Money set aside for a distant goal can tolerate a different mix, but concentration in one asset still matters.
• If you already own jewellery or gold funds, include them when measuring your total gold exposure.
