Understanding Gold Prices
What affects gold prices today?
Gold rates in India fluctuate based on several factors:
- International gold prices (LBMA London) - The global benchmark
- USD to INR exchange rate - Currency fluctuations impact import costs
- Import duty - Currently 15% on gold imports
- GST - 3% on gold, 5% on making charges
- Local demand & supply - Festival seasons, wedding demand affect prices
- Central bank policies - Interest rates and monetary policy decisions
Why do prices vary by city?
Gold rates differ slightly across Indian cities due to:
- Transportation costs - Distance from import hubs (Mumbai, Delhi)
- Local taxes - Some states have additional levies
- Demand patterns - Higher demand in certain regions
- Jeweller margins - Varies by local competition
Typically, prices are lowest in Mumbai and Delhi, which are major gold trading centers.
