About Gold Pricing in India

Gold prices in India are influenced by international gold rates, the USD-INR exchange rate, import duties, and local demand. India is one of the largest consumers of gold, with demand peaking during festivals like Diwali, Akshaya Tritiya, and the wedding season. Gold is not just an investment in India but holds deep cultural and religious significance.

Understanding Gold Purity

Gold purity is measured in karats. 24K is the purest form at 99.9%, but it is too soft for jewellery. 22K gold (91.6% pure) is the most popular for Indian jewellery, offering a good balance of purity and durability. 18K and 14K gold contain more alloy metals and are used for stone-studded and western-style jewellery.
