Gold remains an integral part of Indians’ households during uncertain times. Gold is there for every occasion-wedding, festival, or just long-term investment-it occupies a special place in every heart. A day of relief came to shoppers today – Saturday, April 26, 2025 – with a slight dip in the price of gold; an ideal moment to consider buying.
Gold Rate Today – Slight Dipping After the All-time High
Earlier this week, on Tuesday, April 22, the price of gold surged to an all-time high of ₹1,00,000 per 10 grams, sending shockwaves throughout the market. Since then, though, rates have shown a slight downhill trend, offering some respite for investors and consumers.
As of today, the price of 22-carat gold is ₹90,000 per 10 grams while that of 24-carat gold is priced at ₹98,200 for the same amount.
Silver Price Today – Still Above the Market Level of ₹1 Lakh
Silver, too, stays above that level as gold in the market. Trading on Saturday, April 26, 2025, shows that the price of silver now stands at ₹1,00,900 per kilogram, remaining high due to demand worldwide and for industrial purposes.

What Causes Gold Prices to Oscillate?
The big events on the international screen determine the frontline gold price in India. Current trade skirmishes between the United States and China over taxes and tariffs have set the gold market in great international turbulence. Meanwhile, if international prices go up, the domestic market follows suit.
According to experts, should international contingencies arise, gold prices could range up to ₹1,38,000 for 10 grams in the next few months. Whereas, a return of past calmness may maintain prices around ₹75,000 and give a glimmer of hope to the eager long-term investors.
How Does the Gold Price Work in India?
There are many factors which dictate the daily gold rate in India:
- International Markets
- Exchange Ratio of Indian Rupee vis-a-vis U.S. Dollar
- Customs Duties and Taxes
- Demand from the Festivals and Marriage Seasons
Gold is much more than a metal here; it’s an emotion. It binds generations from bridal jewelry to family heirlooms and is a means of survival in these tough times.
