Understanding Gold Prices in India

The gold price in India is determined by the international spot price set by the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA), converted to Indian Rupees using the live USD/INR exchange rate. On top of this base price, import duty (currently 6%), GST (3%), and local demand influence the final retail price at jewellers and online platforms.

At Vittarq, we show you the live international spot price per gram, with our making charge and GST displayed separately. There are no hidden fees or processing charges. You see exactly what you pay. This transparent pricing is typically 5-8% lower than what local jewellers charge for the same purity, because we source directly from IBJA-accredited refineries.

Gold coins are available from 1 gram to 50 grams, all 24K (999 fineness) and BIS hallmarked with a unique HUID code verifiable on the BIS CARE app. Silver coins are 999 fineness, available from 10g to 100g. Every order ships free with full transit insurance and tamper-evident packaging across India.

Why does the gold price change every day?▾
Gold is an internationally traded commodity. Its price fluctuates based on global supply and demand, the US Dollar exchange rate (when USD weakens, gold rises), central bank policies (especially the US Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions), inflation expectations, geopolitical tensions, and trading activity on exchanges in London, New York, Shanghai, and MCX Mumbai.

Vittarq sells 24K coins for maximum purity and investment value.
Is it a good time to buy gold?▾
Gold is a long-term wealth preservation asset. Historical data shows gold has averaged 10-12% annual returns in INR over the last 20 years. Rather than trying to time the market, financial experts recommend systematic buying. Purchasing small amounts regularly (like a Gold SIP) to average out daily price fluctuations over time.
How can I verify the purity of gold coins?▾

Should I invest in gold or silver?▾
Gold is a safe-haven asset. Best for inflation hedging and long-term wealth preservation. It has averaged 10-12% annual returns in INR over 20 years. Silver is also an industrial metal, making it more volatile but with potentially higher short-term returns. Many investors hold both - a common allocation is 70-80% gold and 20-30% silver for a balanced precious metals portfolio.
