Gold Rate in India Today, September 15, 2026: Prices Edge Up ₹280 per 10 gm on Tuesday

New Delhi, Sept 15: Gold prices in India nudged higher on Tuesday, the first trading session since Friday after markets stayed shut for the weekend and Monday’s Ganesh Chaturthi holiday. The national 24 karat gold rate (99.9% purity) rose to ₹1,53,170 per 10 grams, 22 karat gold (91.6% purity) climbed to ₹1,40,400 per 10 grams, and 18 karat gold moved up to ₹1,14,880 per 10 grams in most cities. That marks a gain of ₹280 per 10 grams in 24K gold since Friday’s ₹1,52,890, a ₹250 rise in 22K gold, and roughly a ₹210 increase in 18K gold — a modest advance of about 0.18% across purities over the three-day gap. 

Gold has traditionally been viewed as an effective hedge against inflation, and Tuesday’s mild uptick comes after a choppy week that saw prices swing sharply in both directions. Buyers looking to purchase gold can refer to a Gold Rate Calculator to determine the expected final billed price at the jeweller’s counter, based on their desired purchase quantity and taking into account making charges, wastage and applicable GST. Figures stated here are indicative national averages aggregated from trusted jewellers across the country and updated multiple times through the trading day; expect actual prices at the jewellery counter to vary slightly between different retailers. 

Dealers said Tuesday’s gain reflects a modest pickup in overseas buying interest over the weekend, with global cues turning mildly supportive after last week’s volatility. A softer US dollar and steady Treasury yields both offered gold some support, traders said, though the moves were far smaller than last week’s sharp swings. Market participants described the mood as cautiously stable rather than decisively bullish, with most dealers still waiting for a clearer signal before committing to a view on the metal’s next move. 

Physical demand at the jewellery counter picked up visibly over the long weekend, jewellers said, with Ganesh Chaturthi on Monday marking the formal start of the festive season. Several retailers reported healthy footfall for smaller, everyday gold items like coins and light jewellery through the holiday. With Navratri and Diwali still ahead, jewellers said they expect demand to build steadily through the coming weeks, even if bullion prices themselves stay volatile session to session. 

India fetches daily nationwide gold rates from designated dealer forums in each city, compiled and published here each morning. These rates are subject to change by the time you arrive at a jewellery or bullion dealer later in the day, so confirm the price your jeweller will offer before making a purchase.

As the tables show, Chennai’s 18K rate has risen to ₹1,18,100 per 10 grams, keeping its premium over Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kerala and Pune — now at ₹1,14,880 — steady at roughly ₹3,220, little changed from Friday. Delhi’s 18K rate, at ₹1,15,030, continues to sit about ₹150 above Mumbai’s level, the same modest premium seen on Friday, suggesting Delhi’s 18K pricing has settled back into its usual pattern after last week’s brief anomaly. Market participants said this steadiness over the long weekend is itself a small sign of the calmer mood dealers have been hoping for.

International Cues Behind the Modest Rise 

Overnight and weekend moves in global bullion markets were the primary driver behind Tuesday’s uptick, dealers said, with spot gold prices internationally edging higher in step with the modest gains seen across Indian cities. A softer US dollar over the long weekend made gold marginally cheaper for holders of other currencies, analysts noted, while Treasury yields held largely steady, offering the metal support without triggering a sharp rally. Currency movements played a limited role domestically, with the rupee trading in a narrow range against the dollar. Traders said this week’s central bank commentary out of the US remains the key event to watch, with the potential to determine whether gold’s calmer tone holds or gives way to renewed volatility. 

Jewellery Stocks Today 

Jewellery stocks were mostly weaker on Tuesday morning, even as gold itself posted modest gains, continuing the sector’s recent pattern of moving somewhat independently of bullion prices. Thangamayil Jewellery led the decliners, down 2.09%, followed by PC Jeweller, off 1.75%, and Titan Company, down 1.73%. Kalyan Jewellers India was the lone gainer among the four counters, up a solid 1.70%, a sharp reversal from being the session’s biggest laggard on Friday. Trading was still underway at the time of writing.

PC Jeweller opened higher but reversed quickly, sliding through the first twenty minutes to a low of ₹13.25 before recovering steadily to trade back near ₹13.46. Titan Company opened below its previous close and drifted lower through the session in a shallow, steady decline without sharp swings. Kalyan Jewellers India was the standout, climbing to an early high of ₹615.60 within the first half hour and holding on to most of those gains through late morning. Thangamayil Jewellery opened at a high and fell to a low of ₹4,960.00 before a modest late recovery, remaining the weakest performer of the four. 

Market watchers said Tuesday’s mixed-to-weaker session among jewellery counters, despite gold’s own modest rise, suggests company-specific factors are outweighing the underlying metal’s price action for now. Dealers said Kalyan Jewellers India’s reversal from Friday’s steepest decline to Tuesday’s clear leader was the most notable move of the morning, while softness in the other three names points to profit-booking after a volatile week rather than any change in the sector’s demand outlook.
