The rate above is the metal alone. A real bill adds the jeweller's making charges, and then 3% GST on the metal and the making charges together — the GST Council sets that rate; see the CBIC GST rate schedules.
Making charges are set by each jeweller — commonly 6–15% of metal value on machine-made pieces and higher on handwork — so nobody can put them in a rate board. Put yours into the calculator and it will break a total into metal, making and tax.

The same rate at the weights a purchase actually comes in. Every figure is the metal alone, ex-GST, derived from the per-gram rate in the card above — so these cannot drift away from the headline the way a hand-kept table would.

The Delhi and New Delhi market
Delhi is the largest gold market in north India and the distribution point for the surrounding NCR belt. Rates here track Mumbai closely, with a small margin reflecting the cost of moving metal inland from the western ports.
Kucha Mahajani in Chandni Chowk is the historic bullion lane and still the wholesale centre; Karol Bagh is the best-known retail jewellery market, with Dariba Kalan trading in silver and older stock. South Delhi and Gurugram malls carry the national chains at chain pricing.
Indian gold demand is concentrated in the wedding and festival calendar — Dhanteras and Diwali in October or November, Akshaya Tritiya in April or May, and the wedding windows either side of them. North Indian jewellers commonly report firmer retail pricing in those weeks. We do not measure that: our regional adjustment is a single fixed number with no seasonal component in it, which is one reason to treat the figure as indicative rather than as a Delhi market rate.
Delhi, New Delhi and the NCR
New Delhi is a district inside Delhi, not a separate market. It is the administrative centre — the area around Connaught Place, Lutyens' Delhi and the government quarter — while "Delhi" means the whole National Capital Territory, Chandni Chowk and Karol Bagh included. There is no separate New Delhi bullion rate, and a jeweller in Connaught Place is quoting off the same wholesale market as one in Kucha Mahajani. The two search terms lead to the same number, which is this one.
The wider NCR — Gurugram, Noida, Ghaziabad and Faridabad — sits in three different states, so stamp duty and local levies differ, but GST on jewellery is a national rate and the metal itself is supplied through the same Delhi wholesale trade. Expect the metal rate on this page to be the right reference across the NCR, and expect the difference in your final bill to come from making charges and the showroom, not from which side of the state line you bought on.
Within Delhi itself, the split worth knowing is wholesale against retail. Kucha Mahajani, the bullion lane in the Chandni Chowk quarter of Old Delhi, is where the trade deals and where quotes sit closest to the underlying rate. Karol Bagh is the best-known retail jewellery market, dense with showrooms along Ajmal Khan Road and Bank Street. The metal rate at the two is much the same; the making charges are not, and that is where the gap in a final bill comes from.
Gold-only movement, converted at today's INR rate
Ten daily closes per 10 grams, ex-GST. Read this as the movement in the metal: each past dollar close is converted at today's exchange rate, not at the rate that applied on the day, so the rupee column is not a record of what gold cost in Delhi on those dates. Until we hold a daily USD/INR series, saying so is the honest version of this table.

How this rate is worked out
We start from the international spot price of gold in US dollars per troy ounce, convert it to rupees per gram at the European Central Bank's daily reference rate, add India's 15% import duty, and apply a flat trade premium. We apply a regional adjustment of +0.12% over Mumbai, reflecting inland transport and the local trade margin.
Purities follow exact ratios: 22K is 22/24 of the 24K rate, 18K is 18/24. The methodology page gives every constant, the date it was last checked, and an explicit list of what this figure cannot tell you.
Our Delhi figure applies a fixed regional adjustment to a nationally derived rate. We do not survey local jewellers or publish any bullion association's rate. Treat it as a well-documented reference level, and expect a counter price to differ. See the risk disclaimer.
24K, 22K and 18K — which one applies to you
| Karat | Hallmark | Purity | Typically used for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24K | 999 | 99.9% | Coins, bars, investment metal. Too soft for most jewellery. |
| 22K | 916 | 91.6% | The standard for Indian gold jewellery. |
| 18K | 750 | 75.0% | Diamond settings and contemporary designs; harder and more durable. |
The hallmark number is the purity in parts per thousand, and each rate is an exact fraction of the 24K figure. 22K vs 24K gold and what 916 means covers the alloy, how to read a BIS hallmark and how to check one.
Duty, GST and hallmarking
Import duty of 15%. India imports almost all of its gold, and the customs duty on it is 15% (10% basic customs duty + 5% AIDC), administered by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs. That duty is inside the rates on this page, because it is inside the price a shop pays for its metal.
GST of 3% is not. Indian rate boards quote ex-GST by convention and so do we. Gold and gold jewellery are taxed at 3% of the transaction value — see the CBIC GST rate schedules — and that value includes making charges, not just the metal. The jewellery price calculator applies both.
Hallmarking is mandatory. Gold jewellery sold in India must carry a BIS hallmark: the BIS mark, the purity grade (999, 916, 750) and a six-digit HUID. Check all three before paying, and see the BIS hallmarking FAQs for what each mark means and how to verify one.
Frequently asked questions
Is the New Delhi gold rate different from the Delhi gold rate?
No. New Delhi is a district within Delhi, not a separate market, and there is no separate bullion rate for it. Jewellers across the National Capital Territory price off the same wholesale trade, so this page answers both searches with the same figure.
Does this rate apply in Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad and Faridabad?
As a metal reference, yes — the NCR is supplied through the same Delhi wholesale market and GST on jewellery is a national rate. What differs between NCR towns is the showroom and its making charges, not the gold.
Is gold cheaper in Karol Bagh or Chandni Chowk?
Kucha Mahajani in Chandni Chowk is the wholesale lane and typically quotes closest to the underlying rate; Karol Bagh is retail and prices in showroom overheads and higher making charges. The metal rate is similar in both — compare making charges, not headline rates.
Why is the Delhi gold rate slightly higher than Mumbai?
Imported bullion arrives on the west coast and has to be moved, insured and financed inland. That cost, plus the local trade's margin, is what separates the two.
Is the Delhi rate the same across Karol Bagh, Chandni Chowk and the malls?
No. Wholesale lanes such as Kucha Mahajani typically quote closer to the underlying rate, while retail chains price in brand, showroom overheads and higher making charges. The metal rate is similar; the final bill is not.
What are typical making charges in Delhi?
They vary widely — commonly around 8–15% for machine-made pieces and considerably more for handcrafted or intricate work. Making charges are set by each jeweller and are not part of any published gold rate, including ours.
Does the rate change during the day?
The underlying dollar spot price moves continuously while international markets are open, so our figure moves with it. The rupee exchange rate we apply is a daily central-bank reference, so it holds steady until the next publication.
Silver rate in Delhi
The silver figure in the card above is the national rate per kilogram, ex-GST — we apply the same regional adjustment to silver as to gold, and no city-specific silver survey sits behind it. Silver price today carries the ounce, gram and kilogram quotes, the ten-day board and the gold/silver ratio.
