Gold and silver prices in India on Monday, April 20, 2026, reflected modest gains amid ongoing global market trends, steady local demand, and fluctuations in currency values.
The article noted that 24K gold (999 purity) was trading at Rs 15,419 per gram nationally, while 22K gold (commonly used in jewellery) stood at Rs 14,134 per gram. These levels marked a slight increase, driven by international demand and inflationary pressures. Factors such as the global gold benchmark, US dollar movements, and domestic jewellery buying—particularly with festive seasons approaching—continued to shape prices for Indian consumers.
City-wise variations were evident due to local market dynamics:
- In Delhi, 24K gold was priced at Rs 15,434 per gram and 22K at Rs 14,149 per gram.
- In Mumbai, rates stood at Rs 15,419 per gram for 24K and Rs 14,134 per gram for 22K.
- Kolkata mirrored Mumbai with 24K gold at Rs 15,419 per gram and 22K at Rs 14,134 per gram.
- In Chennai, prices were higher at Rs 15,501 per gram for 24K and Rs 14,209 per gram for 22K.
On the silver front, the metal was quoted at around Rs 2,64,900 per kilogram for Silver 999 purity, with Silver 925 (sterling) at Rs 2,64,000 per kilogram. Silver prices, influenced by both investment interest and industrial demand, remained relatively stable compared to gold. City-wise, Silver 999 traded at Rs 2,649 per 10 grams uniformly across Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai.
The DNA India report highlighted that while silver is generally more affordable than gold, it holds appeal for both investors and jewellery buyers in certain regions. Global cues and industrial usage play key roles in its price movements, much like gold.
