Gold Rate History in India

Each point on the chart is the indicative 24K retail rate for that day, built the same way as today's live rate: the international spot price converted to rupees per gram, plus the import levies and market premium that apply to bullion sold in India. That keeps the whole series comparable — a move on the chart reflects a genuine move in what buyers pay, not a change in methodology.

Indian gold prices move on three main forces: the international dollar price of gold, the rupee-dollar exchange rate, and domestic demand. A weakening rupee raises the Indian price even when the dollar price is flat, which is why the Indian series sometimes trends differently from international charts. Demand seasonality matters at the margin too — wedding seasons and festivals like Akshaya Tritiya and Dhanteras concentrate buying, and local premiums firm up around them.

The monthly table shows each month's opening and closing rate with the highest and lowest points in between. Wide high-to-low gaps mark volatile months; a string of positive closes marks a sustained trend. Past movement is context, not a forecast — use it to understand where today's live gold rate sits against the recent range, not to time the market.
