How the gold rate is calculated.
The gold rate shown here is derived from the international spot price of gold (XAU/USD), converted to INR using the live USD-INR exchange rate, and normalised to per-gram values. Purities below 24K are calculated pro-rata.
Formula
24K per gram (INR) = (XAU/USD × USD/INR) ÷ 31.1035
22K per gram = 24K × (22 ÷ 24)
18K per gram = 24K × (18 ÷ 24)What moves the gold price?
01
International Prices
Global spot rate of gold (XAU/USD) sets the baseline for Indian markets.
02
USD/INR Exchange Rate
Since gold is priced in USD, rupee depreciation directly raises the local rate.
03
Import Duty & GST
10% import duty + 3% GST is added on top of the landed cost of imported gold.
04
Local Demand
Wedding season and festivals (Akshaya Tritiya, Diwali) push demand and prices up.
05
Central Bank Buying
RBI and other central banks' reserves-buying moves the market long-term.
