City Notes
- New Delhi: Higher base quotes often reflect stronger retail premiums and higher showroom overheads; check hallmark and invoice details.
- Mumbai: Lower base price here can still be offset by making charges; compare shop-to-shop for festive offers.
- Bengaluru: Prices cluster with other southern metros—look for certified BIS hallmarking and standard buy-back terms.
- Chennai: Consistent quotes point to comparable local premiums; negotiate making charges on design-heavy pieces.
- Hyderabad: Known for jewellery craftsmanship—confirm wastage and making charges before purchase.
- Kolkata: Similar base price to other eastern/southern metros; ensure 22K pieces carry clear karat marking and BIS stamp.
What Drives Today’s Prices
- Global spot gold: International spot rates and COMEX moves set the broad direction for local prices.
- INR/USD moves: A stronger rupee typically eases import cost pressure; a weaker rupee raises local rupee quotes.
- Import duty & taxes: Import duty, GST and local taxes affect retail pricing and margins.
- MCX and domestic futures cues: Short-term trading on MCX can influence intraday retail quotes.
- Local demand and seasonality: Festivals, wedding season and regional demand pockets push premiums and making charges up.
Buyer Tips
- Prefer BIS hallmark: Always buy BIS-hallmarked jewellery; the hallmark certifies purity and is important for future resale or buy-back.
- 24K vs 22K: 24K (999) is pure and softer—best for investment or plain jewellery; 22K (916) is harder and more practical for everyday jewellery.
- Making charges and wastage: These are retailer-defined and can vary widely by design—compare per-gram making charges and ask if they are fixed or percentage-based.
- Buy-back and invoice: Get a detailed invoice showing metal rate, making charges and taxes; confirm buy-back policy and rate calculation before purchase.
FAQs
- Q: Are these rates for retail purchases or scrap buy-back?
A: These are retail seller quotes per 10g (24K and 22K); actual buy-back rates may be lower and depend on the jeweller’s policy. - Q: How do I verify purity at purchase?
A: Look for the BIS hallmark, the karat stamp (e.g., 22K/24K) and request a detailed invoice showing metal weight and charges. - Q: What are making charges and can they be negotiated?
A: Making charges cover labour and design; they vary by retailer and design complexity and are often negotiable, especially for plain jewellery or bulk purchases. - Q: When is the best time to buy gold?
A: Timing depends on personal need—prices may dip with a stronger rupee or lower international spot; however, for weddings or festivals, focus on competitive premiums and transparent bills rather than trying to time small market moves.
