Retail prices of gold and silver in India showed little movement on April 15, 2026, with only minor variations reported across key metropolitan cities. According to the latest market updates from Business Today, 24-carat gold was trading in the range of approximately ₹14,596 to ₹15,514 per gram, while 22-carat gold hovered around ₹13,379 to ₹14,221 per gram. Silver prices remained elevated, quoted near ₹2,44,900 to ₹2,65,100 per kilogram, influenced by a combination of steady domestic demand and international factors.
Precious metals continued to act as traditional safe-haven assets, though they did not register sharp gains despite ongoing geopolitical tensions in West Asia and fluctuating signals from the US dollar. Investor sentiment appeared cautious, with stable domestic buying preventing significant price swings. Prices differ slightly between cities due to variations in local taxes, transportation expenses, and jewellers’ margins.

- Delhi: 24K – ₹15,409; 22K – ₹14,126; 18K – ₹11,561

Silver, on the other hand, has stayed above long-term averages, backed by both industrial consumption and investment purchases. The white metal tends to exhibit greater volatility than gold, as it is more closely tied to global manufacturing and economic conditions.
