Gold rate today, city-wise (40 cities)

One national price, forty local quotes: city rates differ by small premia — transport from bullion hubs, dealer conventions and demand intensity — with high-consumption southern cities typically at the top of the band and the western import hubs at its base. The spread stays under 1%, so where you buy matters far less than the making charges you negotiate. City pages with full local guides are rolling out — Delhi is live below.

Indicative city references derived from today's national rate plus typical local premia; jeweller boards vary by a few rupees either side.

What you actually pay: rate + GST + making charges + wastage

The rate on every gold page — this one included — is the metal price. A jewellery bill stacks three more layers on it. Making charges: the jeweller's fabrication fee, commonly 8–25% of metal value (machine-made chains at the bottom, intricate bridal and handcrafted work at the top) — the single most negotiable line on the bill. Wastage: a traditional add-on (2–8%) some jewellers still levy on handcrafted pieces for metal lost in fabrication; many modern showrooms have folded it into making charges — ask, and treat a separate wastage line as a negotiation opening. GST at 3% on the total (metal + charges), plus 5% GST on any separate making-charge labour billing.

Coins and bars skip most of this: premia of 2–6% over the metal rate (bank counters at the high end, reputed bullion dealers lower) plus 3% GST — which is exactly why investment purchases belong in coins, and ornament purchases deserve a negotiated making charge. Always take the itemized GST invoice: it is your proof of weight, purity and price for resale, exchange, insurance — and for any future gold loan, where hallmarked, documented pieces appraise fastest and closest to full value.

Worked example: 10g 22K chain today

Metal value (10g × 22K rate) ₹1,39,180
Making charges (12% typical) ₹16,702
GST @ 3% ₹4,676
Hallmarking (per piece) ₹45
Approx. bill total ₹1,60,603

Illustrative at today's rate with a mid-range making charge; bridal and handcrafted work bills higher, machine chains lower.

24K, 22K or 18K: which gold should you actually buy?

The three purities are three different products wearing one name. 24K (999) is near-pure metal — too soft for daily-wear ornaments, perfect for coins and bars, and the right vehicle for investment money because it carries no making charges to amortize and resells closest to the metal rate. 22K (916) is India's jewellery standard: hard enough for daily wear and traditional designs, pure enough to hold value — at today's ₹13918/g it is the number wedding budgets actually run on. 18K (750) trades purity for strength: the choice for stone-set, studded and contemporary pieces where the setting must grip, priced a full quarter below 24K.

The practical rule: match the purity to the purpose, not the price. Investment rupees belong in 24K coins from low-premium sellers; ornament rupees in hallmarked 22K with a negotiated making charge; design-led and diamond-set purchases in 18K without guilt — the "lower" purity is engineering, not compromise. And whatever you buy, the BIS hallmark with its 6-digit HUID (verifiable in the BIS Care app) is what converts a shop's claim into a certified fact — it also makes any future resale, exchange or gold loan appraisal faster and closer to full value.

Buying vs pledging: two sides of today's rate

Today's price cuts both ways. For buyers, the checklist is constant: hallmarked (HUID) pieces only — verify in the BIS Care app; know the day's rate before entering any store; negotiate making charges, not the metal; prefer coins for investment; and keep every invoice. Timing the market rarely rewards retail buyers — gold moves globally — but timing the charges does: making charges soften in lean months and harden in wedding-and-Diwali season.

For holders, today's rate also prices what the family locker can raise without selling: at current levels, 22K jewellery supports a loan of up to about ₹11,830 per gram at the small-loan LTV tier. Our gold loan rate today page tracks that side daily — per-gram advances, an 18-lender rate comparison and a grams-to-loan calculator — and the gold loan hub compares every major lender honestly. Rising prices quietly expand that borrowing power; falling prices compress it — one more reason a daily page earns its bookmark either way.

Gold rate today — FAQs

What is the gold rate today in India?
Today's indicative reference (2026-09-11): 24K ₹15194/gram (₹1,51,940/10g), 22K ₹13,918/gram, and 18K ₹11,396/gram. City counters quote within roughly ₹0–90/g of this, and retail purchases add 3% GST plus making charges — the full break-up is in the cost section above.
What is the 22K gold rate per gram today?
About ₹13,918/gram today — 22K carries 91.6% fine gold, so its rate is always the 24K reference × 0.916. Per 10 grams that is ₹1,39,180. This is the purity most Indian jewellery uses, which makes it the number wedding-season budgets actually run on.
Why does the gold price change daily?
Because it is set globally and re-priced continuously: international bullion moves on US interest rates, inflation and geopolitics; the rupee-dollar rate translates that into Indian prices (a weaker rupee raises INR gold even when global gold is flat); and import duty plus local taxes complete the landed price. Indian reference rates (IBJA) publish twice daily from dealer polls — which is why every serious tracker, this page included, refreshes daily.
Why do gold rates differ from city to city?
Small local factors on top of one national price: transport and insurance from the bullion import hubs, historical state levies and octroi legacies, dealer association conventions, and demand intensity (high-consumption southern cities typically quote the largest premia — Chennai often runs ₹80–90/g above the base). The spread stays narrow — under 1% — so it changes where you buy far less than making charges do.
What is the difference between 24K, 22K and 18K gold?
Purity, and therefore price and use: 24K (999) is near-pure — soft, ideal for coins/bars and investment, ₹15194/g today. 22K (916) alloys in ~8% other metals for durability — the Indian jewellery standard, ₹13,918/g. 18K (750) is 75% gold — harder, common in stone-set and contemporary pieces, ₹11,396/g. The hallmark (with HUID) certifies which one you are actually buying.
Is the gold rate the same as what jewellers charge?
No — the rate here is the metal reference. A jewellery bill adds making charges (commonly 8–25% of metal value by design complexity), sometimes wastage on traditional work, and 3% GST on the total. A ₹10,000 metal purchase typically bills ₹11,100–12,900 all-in. Coins and bars carry smaller premia (2–6%), which is why investment buyers prefer them.
Per gram or per 10 gram — which price should I track?
They are the same number at different scales — India quotes both by convention (bullion trade in 10g, jewellery in grams). This page shows both throughout. For quick math: today, every gram of 22K is about ₹13,918, so a 40-gram bridal set carries roughly ₹5,56,720 of metal value before charges.
How is this different from the gold loan rate?
The gold price is what buying costs; the gold loan per-gram is what pledging raises — always lower, because lenders apply purity (22K = 91.6%) and RBI's LTV caps (75–85%). Today: ₹15194/g price vs roughly ₹11,830/g maximum advance on 22K jewellery. Our gold loan rate today page tracks that side daily.
