Gold price per 10 grams in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Lucknow
| City | 24K / 10g | 22K / 10g | 18K / 10g |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mumbai | ₹1,43,960 | ₹1,31,960 | ₹1,07,970 |
| Delhi | ₹1,44,110 | ₹1,32,110 | ₹1,08,120 |
| Chennai | ₹1,43,960 | ₹1,31,960 | ₹1,07,970 |
| Lucknow | ₹1,44,110 | ₹1,32,110 | ₹1,08,120 |
These 10-gram values are taken from the same Goodreturns city tables rather than from a different benchmark or an assumed conversion. The amount payable for a finished ornament may be higher because the bill can include making charges, taxes, stones and other item-specific costs.
Gold price change since 28 October: what the same source shows
Goodreturns’ Mumbai historical table lists ₹14,395 per gram for 24K and ₹13,195 for 22K on 28 October, compared with ₹14,396 and ₹13,196 respectively on 29 October. That is an indicative ₹1-per-gram rise for both purities in this provider’s series, equivalent to ₹10 per 10 grams. Delhi and Lucknow likewise show ₹1-per-gram increases for 24K and 22K in the same source’s daily table.
This is a comparison of one publisher’s successive dated listings, not a claim that every jeweller has raised prices by exactly ₹1. A minor early-morning movement is not enough evidence to identify a particular cause. International gold prices, currency movements, domestic supply and retail pricing practices may all matter, but this report does not assign an unverified cause to today’s quote.
Why another gold-rate website may show different prices
A separate provider, 5paisa, displays a 29 October India-wide quote of ₹14,395 per gram for 24K and ₹13,195 for 22K—₹1 below Goodreturns’ Mumbai figures. This provides an independent same-date comparison, but the values are not combined or averaged into the city table. Different update cycles, calculation methods and retail assumptions can produce discrepancies. Always check the source, time, purity, unit and city before comparing prices.
The India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA) publishes separate AM and PM bullion reference rates. Those benchmarks are not the same as an indicative retail gold price, and IBJA’s new morning quotation should not be assumed available at this early hour. IBJA does not publish its normal rates on weekends and specified holidays. This report does not substitute a previous-session IBJA rate for today’s retail figures.
24K, 22K or 18K: which gold price matters to buyers?
24K refers to near-pure gold, often associated with bullion and coins; 22K contains about 91.6% gold and is common in jewellery; 18K contains 75% gold and is used in some jewellery designs. Comparing an 18K ornament with a 22K one solely by price is misleading because the gold content differs. Confirm the fineness marked on the specific item and ask how the metal weight has been calculated.
Before buying gold jewellery: five checks that affect the real cost
First, confirm the item’s purity and net gold weight separately from stones or other components. Second, ask the shop for its actual gold rate per gram and whether it matches the quoted purity. Third, obtain making charges in rupees or as a clearly defined percentage. Fourth, ask for the applicable GST and a complete, itemised bill. Finally, verify the hallmark and HUID details on the actual item where applicable.
For a practical example, the indicative Mumbai 22K price of ₹13,196 per gram puts the listed metal value of 10 grams at ₹1,31,960. This is not the final jewellery invoice: making charges and taxes may add to it. For a step-by-step authenticity check, read our guide to matching a gold hallmark, HUID and invoice. You can also consult the Bureau of Indian Standards for hallmarking information.
