Gold Rate Today in India – 22K & 24K Price (October 25, 2026)

As of 25-10-2026, 24K gold in India is priced at ₹14,686 per gram, GST included.

22K gold in India is currently ₹13,462 per gram (GST included) — the purity most commonly used for jewellery.

24K gold is 99.9% pure and mainly used for investment (coins/bars). 22K (91.6% pure) and 18K (75% pure) are alloyed with other metals for strength and are typically used for jewellery — lower purity generally means a lower price per gram.

Yes, the prices shown above include 3% GST, which is what you would actually pay at checkout. Making charges and any wastage charged by individual jewellers are separate and vary by retailer.

The base MCX benchmark is national, but the final price you see varies slightly by city because of local transport and logistics costs, state-level octroi or entry levies where applicable, and differences in association-level rounding between city jeweller bodies. These differences are usually small — typically a few rupees per gram.

Look for a BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) hallmark — a small stamp showing the BIS logo, the purity in karat/fineness (e.g. 916 for 22K), the jeweller's identification mark, and a 6-digit alphanumeric HUID (Hallmark Unique ID). Hallmarking is mandatory for gold jewellery sold in India, and you can verify a HUID on the BIS CARE app.

No — the rate shown here is the raw metal price (with GST). Making charges are a separate labour fee jewellers add for crafting the piece, typically 3-25% of the metal value depending on the design's complexity, and they vary by retailer and by city. Always ask for making charges to be itemised separately on your bill.

There is no way to reliably time the market, but prices historically see higher demand (and sometimes a premium) around Akshaya Tritiya, Dhanteras, and the wedding season (October-December), while demand — and occasionally price pressure — tends to ease in the months after. Many buyers prefer to buy in smaller amounts spread across the year rather than trying to time a single low.

Not exactly. MCX rates are wholesale/exchange benchmarks; individual jewellers price off this benchmark but add their own margin, making charges, and rounding, so the number on your bill will usually be slightly different from the exchange rate shown here.
