24K Gold Price
Pure 24K gold was listed at Rs 160,630 per 10 grams in Delhi and several cities across northern India. In Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and a number of other cities, the listed rate was Rs 160,480 per 10 grams.
Other cities recorded slightly different prices. Patna, Indore, Ahmedabad and Vadodara were listed at Rs 160,530 per 10 grams.
These differences can occur because gold rates may vary between markets depending on local factors, supply conditions and pricing practices.
22K Gold Price
The 22K gold rate is particularly relevant to jewellery buyers because jewellery is commonly made using gold alloys rather than completely pure gold.
On August 22, Delhi and several other cities recorded a 22K rate of Rs 147,250 per 10 grams. Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune and several other cities recorded Rs 147,100.
Patna, Indore, Ahmedabad and Vadodara were listed at Rs 147,150 per 10 grams, while Nashik was listed at Rs 147,130.
18K Gold Price
The 18K category contains a lower proportion of pure gold compared with 22K and 24K gold and is commonly used for certain types of jewellery.
The listed 18K price was Rs 120,510 per 10 grams in Delhi and several other cities. Mumbai, Kolkata and many southern and central Indian markets were listed at Rs 120,360.
Chennai's listed 18K price was Rs 124,900 per 10 grams, making it notably different from the rates shown for several other cities.
Why Gold Prices Differ Between Cities
Gold prices displayed by jewellers can differ from the indicative market rate. The final amount paid by a customer can include applicable taxes, jewellery making charges, wastage charges and other costs.
For this reason, the price of a gold ornament may be considerably higher than the quoted value of the gold itself. Customers should ask jewellers for a detailed bill showing the gold rate, weight, purity, making charges and applicable taxes before completing a purchase.
What Buyers Should Check
People planning to purchase gold on August 22 should compare rates from multiple established jewellers in their city. Buyers should also verify the purity of the jewellery and check the relevant hallmarking information.
The quoted prices in this report are for 10 grams. Customers purchasing smaller quantities should calculate the corresponding rate based on the weight. The final jewellery price will depend on the purity, design, making charges and applicable taxes.
Gold prices can change frequently because of movements in international gold prices, currency exchange rates, global economic developments, interest rates and domestic market conditions. Therefore, the rate available at the time of purchase may differ from the indicative rate published earlier in the day.
Investors and consumers should also distinguish between the price of investment gold and the retail price of jewellery. Jewellery purchases generally involve additional costs that are not part of the basic gold rate.
The August 22, 2026 rates show that gold remains at a high price level across major Indian markets, with 24K gold above Rs 1.60 lakh per 10 grams in all the cities listed in the supplied data.
For consumers, checking the latest rate before buying remains important, particularly when purchasing larger quantities. Even a small difference in the per gram rate can significantly affect the total cost of a jewellery purchase.
The gold market is also closely watched by investors because gold is traditionally considered a store of value during periods of economic and financial uncertainty. However, gold prices can move in either direction, and past price performance does not guarantee future returns.
Therefore, people purchasing gold for investment purposes should consider their individual financial goals and risk tolerance rather than making decisions solely on the basis of a single day's price.
