Gold Prices Hold Steady Ahead of Festive Season
Gold prices in India remained steady on September 30, 2026, ahead of the festive season. The domestic market responded to a mix of global economic cues and shifting currency values, resulting in flat prices for the day. In major metropolitan hubs like Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Thiruvananthapuram, 24-carat gold was trading around ₹1,48,800 per 10 grams, while 22-carat gold stood close to ₹13,640 per gram.
Retail jewellers noted that buyers are keeping a close eye on international bullion movements as everyone gears up for the upcoming festive shopping season. Industry experts reminded buyers that these baseline spot rates don't include making charges or the mandatory 3% GST, so final showroom bills will vary slightly. Meanwhile, silver has managed to hold its ground, hovering steadily near ₹2,40,000 per kilogram.
Looking back at yesterday's figures from September 29, 2026, prices remained largely flat through the end of the month. A few cities saw slight variations, with Delhi and Chennai trading at minor premiums. Industry experts continue to advise buyers to consider these baseline spot rates as a starting point for their purchases.
