Gold Prices in India Hold Near Multi-Month Highs on August 22
Gold prices in India continued their upward trend on August 22, 2026, holding near multi-month highs. The retail price for 24-carat gold stood at approximately INR 1,60,490 per 10 grams, while 22-carat gold was trading at around INR 1,47,110 per 10 grams.
The ongoing strength in domestic precious metal prices mirrors international trends, where spot gold has held firm above the key USD 4,500 threshold per ounce. Analysts attribute the sustained bullish momentum to a weaker U.S. dollar index and growing safe-haven interest amid macroeconomic uncertainties and regional geopolitical tensions.
City-wise price variations were observed due to local transport costs, state duties, and regional association pricing. The prices fluctuated slightly across different metropolitan areas, with Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Pune, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, Lucknow, Bhopal, Jodhpur, Srinagar showing minor differences.
