Gold Rate Guide
Gold prices vary by purity. Understanding karat, fineness and percentage purity helps you compare gold rates and understand the value of different types of gold.
24K Gold
999 Fineness
24K gold represents the highest purity commonly used for investment-grade gold. A fineness of 999 indicates about 99.9% gold content.
22K Gold
916 Fineness
22K gold has a fineness of 916, meaning it contains about 91.6% gold. The remaining portion consists of other metals used to provide greater strength and durability.
18K Gold
750 Fineness
18K gold has a fineness of 750, which corresponds to approximately 75.0% gold content. It is commonly used for jewellery where durability and gold content are both important.
14K Gold
585 Fineness
14K gold has a fineness of 585, representing approximately 58.5% gold content. Its higher proportion of other metals makes it more durable for everyday jewellery use.
How Gold Purity Affects Gold Price
The higher the gold purity, the greater the proportion of gold contained in the metal. As a result, gold of different purities can have different rates per gram.
Karat describes the proportion of gold in a 24-part system, while fineness expresses gold content as parts per thousand. For example, 24K gold is represented as 999 fineness, while 22K gold is represented as 916 fineness.
The gold rates displayed on this page are reference rates per gram and should not be treated as the final retail price of jewellery or other finished gold products.
Gold Price Explained
Gold prices change throughout the market cycle. Understanding the main factors that influence gold rates can help you better understand daily gold price movements in India.
International Gold Price
Gold is traded globally and international gold prices have a major influence on gold rates in India. Changes in the global gold market can therefore affect the reference value of gold in the Indian market.
USD/INR Exchange Rate
International gold prices are commonly quoted in US dollars. Because Indian buyers purchase gold in Indian rupees, movements in the USD/INR exchange rate can influence the rupee value of gold.
Global Market Conditions
Interest rates, inflation expectations, economic uncertainty and broader financial-market conditions can influence investor demand for gold and contribute to changes in international gold prices.
Demand and Supply
Changes in gold demand from investors, jewellery buyers and other market participants can affect prices. Supply conditions can also influence the balance between available gold and market demand.
Indian Market Factors
Local market conditions, applicable taxes, import costs and other charges can affect the price at which gold is ultimately offered to buyers in India.
Gold Purity
Gold prices also vary according to purity. 24K gold with 999 fineness contains more gold than 22K, 18K or 14K gold, so the reference price per gram differs according to the purity of the gold.
How Gold Prices in India Are Influenced
The Indian rupee value of gold is influenced by international gold prices and currency movements, followed by local market conditions and applicable costs.
