Last year, during Diwali, the price of gold was around Rs 80,000 per 10 grams, which has increased to Rs 1,30,000 per 10 grams this year. That means an increase of about 60 percent has been seen. Similarly, the price of silver was Rs 98,000 per kg in 2024, which has now crossed Rs 1,80,000 per kg, that is, an increase of about 55 percent has been seen.
