About The Gold Rate

The Gold Rate is an independent gold and silver price tracking website built for Indian households, wedding shoppers, and long-term investors. We publish live-indicative 22K and 24K rates, silver prices, city-wise comparisons across 400+ locations, calculators, and practical buying guides — updated multiple times daily.

Why this site exists

Jewellery invoices mix metal value, making charges, wastage and tax. Many shoppers only see a final number. We exist to make the metal reference transparent: what 10 grams of 24K or 22K roughly costs today, how cities compare, and what questions to ask before you pay.

Who we serve

Families planning wedding or festive jewellery purchases
Buyers comparing coins, bars, and jewellery quotes
Readers learning hallmarking, GST, and investment product basics
Anyone who wants a clear city-level gold rate reference in India

Data sources & methodology

Base pricing is anchored to India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA) domestic benchmarks when available, supported by global bullion feeds and USD/INR context. City pages show indicative retail-metal references — not a jeweller's final bill. Read the full rate methodology and editorial policy.

IBJA — primary domestic gold/silver benchmark reference
Global bullion feeds — international spot context
Live forex inputs — USD/INR conversion when needed
City pages — local presentation with weight/purity tables
