Frequently Asked Questions
What is the gold price in India today?
The gold price in India today is calculated in real-time from the international XAUUSD spot price multiplied by the current USDINR exchange rate. For 24K pure gold, divide the per-ounce INR price by 31.1035 to get the per-gram rate. Check the live table above for current 22K and 24K rates.
Why is Indian gold price different from international gold price?
Indian gold price is 5-8% higher than international spot due to three components: customs import duty (currently ~15%), GST at 3%, and local dealer/jeweller premiums. These apply on top of the XAUUSD × USDINR base calculation.
What factors affect gold price in India?
Five key factors drive Indian gold prices: (1) XAUUSD international spot price, (2) USD-INR exchange rate, (3) import duty changes by Government of India, (4) RBI monetary policies, and (5) domestic demand during wedding season (October-February) and festivals like Dhanteras.
Is MCX gold price the same as international price?
No. MCX gold futures are priced in INR per 10 grams and include import duty (15%), GST (3%), and futures carry costs. MCX gold is typically 5-8% higher than the international spot price converted to INR. MCX also reflects local supply-demand dynamics.
Why Does Gold Price Change Daily in India?
Gold prices in India change throughout the trading day because they are linked to two volatile markets: the international gold spot price (XAUUSD) and the rupee-dollar exchange rate (USDINR). When either moves, the INR gold price changes immediately.
The international gold spot price is set by global supply and demand, driven by factors including US Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, inflation data (CPI), employment reports (NFP), and geopolitical conflicts. When uncertainty rises, investors buy gold as a safe haven, pushing prices higher.
How Is Indian Gold Price Calculated?
The base calculation is straightforward:
- Gold per troy ounce (INR) = XAUUSD × USDINR
- Gold per gram (INR) = per-troy-ounce price ÷ 31.1035
- Gold per 10 grams (INR) = per-gram price × 10
- 22K price = 24K price × (22/24) = 24K price × 0.9167
Retail gold prices at jewellers add import duty (~15%), GST (3%), and making charges (8-35% depending on design complexity).
When Is the Best Time to Buy Gold in India?
Gold demand in India peaks during wedding season (October-February) and festivals like Dhanteras, Diwali, and Akshaya Tritiya, often pushing prices 1-2% above the calculated rate. Prices may soften during monsoon months (June-September). Long-term investors typically focus on XAUUSD trend direction rather than seasonal patterns.
22K vs 24K Gold — Which Should You Buy?
24K gold (99.9% pure) is best for investment — coins, bars, and digital gold — as it has the highest resale value. 22K gold (91.67% pure, alloyed with copper/silver) is preferred for jewellery because it is more durable for daily wear. Over 80% of Indian jewellery is 22K.
