Gold prices showed a mixed trend across major Indian cities on September 24, 2026, with rates moving higher in several markets while Chennai recorded a softer price. Buyers planning to purchase jewellery or investors tracking precious metals may want to check the latest city-wise rates before making a decision, as prices can differ depending on location and purity.

Among the four major metropolitan cities, 22-carat and 24-carat gold prices were higher in Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, according to the rates provided. Chennai, on the other hand, witnessed a decline.

These figures made Chennai slightly cheaper than several other major cities included in the comparison.

What Is Driving Gold Prices?

Gold prices in India are influenced by a combination of international and domestic factors.

Movements in global bullion prices are particularly important because India relies heavily on imports to meet its gold demand. Changes in the rupee-dollar exchange rate can therefore also affect domestic prices.

A weaker rupee can make imported gold more expensive, while a stronger currency may reduce some of that pressure, assuming other factors remain unchanged.

Global interest-rate expectations, inflation concerns, geopolitical developments, central-bank demand and investor appetite for safe-haven assets can also influence international gold prices.

Within India, seasonal jewellery demand, investment buying and other market conditions can contribute to short-term price movements.

Silver Price Falls to ₹2,49,900 Per Kg

Silver was under pressure on September 24.

According to the supplied figures, the domestic silver price declined to ₹2,49,900 per kilogram on Thursday morning.

In the international market, spot silver was quoted at $64.45 per ounce.

Silver has experienced considerable volatility during 2026. According to the source data, the metal touched a record level of ₹4 lakh per kilogram in India in January before subsequently moving lower.

Check Purity and Final Cost Before Buying Gold

Consumers purchasing physical gold should remember that the market rate is only one part of the final jewellery bill.

The purity of gold is particularly important. While 24-carat gold represents a higher purity level, 22-carat gold is commonly used for jewellery because it is mixed with other metals to improve durability.

Buyers should also check hallmarking and obtain a proper invoice showing the purity, weight and applicable charges.

Making charges can vary substantially between jewellers and designs, so the final purchase price may be higher than the headline gold rate.

With precious-metal prices experiencing significant fluctuations, consumers and investors should check the latest local rates before buying or selling rather than relying on an earlier day's quotation.
