Silver Rate in Kolkata Today, August 6, 2026: Silver Holds Ground at ₹240 Per Gram After Recent Rise

Kolkata, August 6: Silver prices were unchanged in Kolkata on Thursday as the market took a breather after Wednesday’s increase. Retail rates continued to hold at ₹240 per gram, while 1 kilogram of silver remained priced at ₹2,40,000, indicating that the recent gains are, for now, holding firm.

According to today’s retail rates, silver is selling at ₹240 per gram, with no change from the previous session. The kilogram price also remained steady at ₹2,40,000, extending the stability seen after this week’s recovery.

Rather than giving back Wednesday’s gains, silver spent the day moving sideways. That suggests buyers are still willing to support prices at current levels, even though fresh triggers for another rally are yet to emerge.

Silver Takes a Pause, Not a Step Back

After finally breaking out of its week-long range on Wednesday, silver had every chance to either push higher or give up some of its gains.

Instead, it did neither.

Thursday’s session was unusually quiet, with prices staying exactly where they closed a day earlier. While a flat session may not grab attention, it often reflects a market that’s comfortable with its current levels rather than one that’s losing momentum.

For those planning to buy silver jewellery, coins or utensils, the lack of movement means there’s been no additional increase in costs. Investors, on the other hand, will be watching whether fresh global cues are enough to trigger another leg higher.

What Would 10 Grams of Silver Jewellery Cost Today?

The listed silver rate reflects only the value of the metal. The final jewellery bill also includes making charges and GST.

Based on today’s silver price, assuming 12% making charges and 3% GST, here’s an estimate:

The final amount may vary depending on the jeweller, jewellery design, making charges and wastage.

10-Day Silver Price Trend

The past 10 days have been defined more by stability than volatility. Silver spent most of the period trading around ₹235 per gram, with only minor day-to-day fluctuations. Wednesday’s jump to ₹240 per gram was the first meaningful move in several sessions, and Thursday’s unchanged price suggests the market is comfortable holding those gains instead of giving them back immediately.

August Performance So Far

The first week of August has been relatively quiet for silver in Kolkata. Prices remained unchanged through the opening four trading sessions before edging higher this week. While the gains have been modest, the market has shown no signs of reversing them, leaving silver comfortably above where it started the month.

Why Do Silver Prices Change Every Day?

Silver prices don’t depend on jewellery demand alone. The metal is widely used in industries such as electronics, solar energy, medical equipment and electric vehicles, making industrial demand just as important as investment demand.

Apart from that, international silver prices, movements in the rupee against the US dollar, inflation expectations, import costs and geopolitical developments also influence daily rates. Since both investors and industries drive demand, silver often experiences sharper price swings than gold.

Conclusion

Silver prices in Kolkata remained steady on Thursday, with the metal holding at ₹240 per gram and ₹2,40,000 per kilogram after Wednesday’s rise. While there wasn’t another upward move today, the market also showed little willingness to surrender its recent gains. The coming sessions will indicate whether silver builds on this recovery or continues to trade within its current range as investors await fresh global cues.
