March 30, 2025 | New Delhi – As Navratri celebrations begin, gold prices in India have once again witnessed a significant surge, continuing a five-day rally that’s making headlines across the country. The festive season, traditionally associated with gold purchases, is now being met with record-high rates that are inching closer to the ₹1 lakh mark per 10 grams for 24-carat gold.
Gold Prices See Sharp Rise Over Past Week
In just the last seven days, 24-carat gold has climbed by ₹1,370, while 22-carat gold has surged by ₹1,300 per 10 grams. With both gold and silver witnessing upward momentum, buying jewelry or investment-grade bullion is becoming increasingly costly for the average consumer.
City-Wise Gold Prices (Per 10 Grams)
| City | 22-Carat Gold | 24-Carat Gold |
|---|---|---|
| Delhi | ₹83,750 | ₹91,350 |
| Mumbai | ₹83,600 | ₹91,200 |
| Kolkata | ₹83,600 | ₹91,200 |

Silver Prices Also on the Rise
It’s not just gold that’s seeing gains. Silver has also jumped by ₹3,000 in the last week, now standing at ₹1,04,000 per kilogram — another factor contributing to the growing concern about affordability during the festive period.
Market Outlook
Experts believe that continued global uncertainties, strong demand from domestic buyers, and inflation hedging are contributing to the upward pressure on precious metal prices. If current trends persist, 24-carat gold could cross the ₹1,00,000 threshold soon, marking a historic milestone.
