For those looking at the highest purity of the metal, 24-carat gold—often referred to as 99.9% pure gold—the rate held firm at ₹15,435 per single gram. Consequently, the standard 10-gram bar, a popular benchmark for domestic investors, is currently priced at ₹1,54,350. Larger transactions for 100-gram quantities are maintaining a valuation of ₹15,43,500, while the 8-gram sovereign, frequently used in ceremonial gifting, remains steady at ₹1,23,480. These figures underscore a period of consolidation for 24-carat gold, providing a clear window for buyers who have been tracking the market for a non-volatile entry point
The 22-carat segment, which dominates the jewelry manufacturing industry due to its durability and alloy composition, mirrored this trend of absolute price stagnation. The per-gram rate for 22-carat gold is currently positioned at ₹14,150. For consumers eyeing traditional jewelry purchases, the 10-gram rate stands at ₹1,41,500, with the 8-gram and 100-gram weights holding at ₹1,13,200 and ₹14,15,000, respectively. This consistency in 22-carat pricing is particularly significant for the retail sector, as it allows jewelers and customers to negotiate without the immediate pressure of intraday hikes
Similarly, the 18-carat gold category, which is increasingly favored for contemporary diamond-studded pieces and affordable luxury wear, saw no deviation from yesterday’s figures. The price per gram remains anchored at ₹11,580. Bulk buyers and manufacturers looking at 100-gram increments will find the price locked at ₹11,58,000, while the 10-gram and 8-gram rates remain at ₹1,15,800 and ₹92,640. This across-the-board freeze in price movement across 24k, 22k, and 18k variants indicates a collective breath taken by the market, potentially ahead of upcoming global economic cues or local festive demand.
This horizontal movement in Delhi’s gold rates serves as a vital indicator for the broader economic sentiment within the region's commodities market. While the lack of "change" might seem uneventful on the surface, such periods of price parity are essential for stabilizing the retail ecosystem and allowing for transparent financial planning among households. As the market closes today with a net change of zero across all major categories, stakeholders will undoubtedly be keeping a close watch on international currency shifts and central bank policies to see if this calm precedes a new trend in the bullion landscape.
