Gold has touched a historic high in India, with prices surpassing ₹1 lakh for 10 grams, driven by rising global economic uncertainty. “Pure gold, those of 24 carats, now cost more than Rs 10,000 for a gram in all major cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai.”
In the United States, gold futures rose by 1.7% to $3,482.40 on Monday evening. This surge followed President Donald Trump’s remarks criticizing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, which raised concerns among investors and pushed them toward safer investments like gold.
According to goodreturns.com, 24-carat gold costs ₹10,150 per gram in Delhi and nearby regions such as Gurugram and Noida. However, pure gold is generally not used in jewellery, and prices for ornaments are based on 22-carat gold, which currently costs around ₹9,305 per gram in the capital. In cities like Mumbai and Kolkata, 24-carat gold is priced slightly lower at ₹10,135 per gram, while 22-carat gold stands at ₹9,290.

Gurugram: ₹10,135
