With its deep-rooted cultural affinity for gold, India is a leading market for the yellow metal. Gold demand in India has been rising consistently, fuelled mainly by growing affluence.
A combination of factors, such as supply, demand, and investor sentiment, influence gold prices. While current gold rates consider not only immediate market dynamics but also future expectations, limited market transparency increases price volatility. In essence, gold pricing is a consensus among market stakeholders to buy, sell, or maintain prices at predetermined levels through strategic supply and demand management. Gold supply in India is primarily met through imports, with less than 1 per cent of the demand being met by local mining and about 10 per cent from recycling.
Investors can purchase gold from various retail outlets, including jewellery stores across cities in India. Below are the latest gold prices in major Indian cities.
