Gold and silver prices in India remained largely stable on 8 March 2026 as strengthening US dollar indices and higher treasury yields continued to pressure global bullion markets
Gold and silver prices in India showed minor fluctuations on 8 March 2026, with investors closely watching global economic signals.
The domestic bullion market is influenced by international trends, including the performance of the US dollar and inflation expectations. Experts note that geopolitical risks linked to global tensions have already been partially factored into current prices, limiting fresh safe-haven buying.
Gold price in India today
In Noida, 24-carat gold (99.9% purity) is priced at ₹16,380 per gram, while 22-carat gold trades around ₹15,015 per gram.
Major cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata reported nearly similar gold rates, reflecting uniform bullion market trends.
Across India, 1 gram of 24K gold hovered near ₹16,287–₹16,494 depending on the city. In southern markets like Chennai and Hyderabad, prices were slightly higher due to regional demand.
Silver price trends
Silver prices also remained under mild pressure, trading around ₹285 per gram and ₹2,85,000 per kilogram in several Indian markets.
Cities such as Bengaluru and Pune reported silver rates close to ₹28,490 per 100 grams.
Market analysts observed that higher exchange margins and reduced speculative trading activity have limited sharp bullish movements in bullion markets.
Global factors influencing prices
Commodity experts say bullion prices are currently shaped by:
- Strength of the global dollar index
- Rising treasury yields
- Inflation expectations linked to crude oil price movements
The ongoing geopolitical uncertainty between the United States and Iran also supports gold’s role as a safe-haven asset, though much of the “war premium” may already be reflected in prices.
Despite short-term volatility, gold and silver remain preferred investment assets in India for jewellery purchases and portfolio diversification.
