Indian Silver Prices Hold Firm Amid Global Upsurge

Silver prices in India continued to trade at elevated levels on August 17, 2026. According to market trackers, silver was priced around ₹2.36 lakh to ₹2.50 lakh per kg, with some city rates reaching as high as ₹2.55 lakh per kg.

The international silver price also moved higher during the session, supporting sentiment in the domestic market. Silver's movement is being influenced by both global precious-metals sentiment and industrial demand.

Silver continues to attract investors and industrial buyers due to its role as a precious metal and widespread use in electronics, solar equipment, and other industries. However, buyers should be aware that the final price for physical silver can include additional costs such as GST, dealer premiums, and making charges.
