In India, domestic gold prices are influenced by a combination of international bullion rates, the rupee-dollar exchange rate, import duties, GST and local demand. Prices may vary slightly from one city to another because of transportation costs, local taxes and jewellers’ making charges.
With the festive and wedding season expected to gather momentum in the coming months, jewellers anticipate continued consumer interest despite elevated prices. Market experts advise buyers to compare prices across reputed jewellers and check for BIS hallmark certification before making a purchase.
Silver also remained firm, supported by steady industrial demand and improving global sentiment toward precious metals. Analysts believe bullion prices could remain volatile in the near term as investors await fresh economic data from major economies and further clarity on central bank policies.
For retail buyers and investors, keeping track of daily price movements remains important, as even small fluctuations in global markets can influence domestic bullion rates. Those planning to invest in physical gold or silver should also factor in making charges and applicable taxes, which can significantly affect the final purchase price.
