How is the Gold Rate Decided in Delhi?

The daily gold rate in Delhi is not set by any single jeweller or the state government — it is derived from a transparent, four-step chain that keeps prices almost identical across every city in Delhi (Bangalore, Mysore, Mangalore, Hubli, and smaller towns differ by only ₹0–100/gram):

1. International LBMA benchmark: The London Bullion Market Association fixes the global spot gold price twice daily in USD per troy ounce (1 troy ounce = 31.1035 grams). This is the base for gold worldwide, including Delhi.
2. USD to INR conversion: The USD price is converted to rupees at the live RBI reference exchange rate. If the rupee weakens against the dollar, gold becomes costlier in Delhi even if the international price is flat.
3. Import duty + GST:India imports nearly all its gold, so the government's import duty (currently ~15%, including Agriculture Infrastructure and Development Cess) and 3% GST are added. Together these taxes make up roughly 18% of the retail price you pay in Delhi.
4. Local bullion benchmark (IBJA):The Indian Bullion & Jewellers Association (IBJA) publishes a daily wholesale rate thatDelhi's jewellers follow. Each showroom then adds its making charge (3–25% depending on design) and a tiny local margin for transport and overhead — this is the only reason prices vary slightly between shops and cities.

In Delhi, gold is traditionally weighed in Tola (तोला) — 1 Tola = 11.6638grams — though most retail billing today is done per gram. The 24K, 22K and 18K prices you see on this page are our editorial team's indicative daily reference rates for Delhi, manually curated from public bullion market data (broadly tracking the IBJA national benchmark). They are refreshed daily and may differ slightly from your local jeweller's quote, which includes making charges and local margins.

Why Delhi's rate differs from neighbouring states: Only by a negligible ₹0–50/gram, purely on local transport and dealer margin — there is no separate Delhi gold tax. Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh andDelhi all import through the same customs ports, so the underlying landed cost is identical.
