Gold and silver prices across India remained largely stable on Thursday, reflecting steady global trends and consistent domestic demand. The rate for 24-carat gold stands at ₹15,774 per gram, while 22-carat gold is priced at ₹14,459 per gram. Meanwhile, 18-carat gold is available at ₹11,830 per gram. Despite minor day-to-day fluctuations, gold continues to be viewed as a reliable safeguard against inflation and currency volatility.
Market analysts note that the resilience in gold prices is underpinned by cautious investor sentiment and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties. In India, gold retains its cultural and financial significance, particularly with the approach of festive and wedding seasons, when buying traditionally rises.
Silver prices have also shown relative stability. The metal is currently priced at ₹264.90 per gram and ₹2,64,900 per kilogram. Industrial demand, along with global price movements, continues to influence silver’s valuation. Experts suggest that while silver remains more volatile than gold, it is increasingly gaining attention as an affordable investment alternative.
Across major Indian cities, price variations are minimal, largely reflecting transportation costs and local demand factors rather than significant market divergence.
