Gold Prices in Indian Rupees
The baseline gold price is expressed in US dollars, but that is of little use to most people who buy and sell gold in India. Instead, the gold price is often calculated in Indian rupees. This page is for those who trade precious metals on the subcontinent.
Our chart allows you to see real-time changes to today’s gold price without having to fiddle with conversion rates. You can monitor both the bid and ask prices for the current trading day, along with comparing gold’s performance to other economic metrics.
Best of all, you can use this chart to research how the price of gold has moved for several decades. The chart is searchable all the way back to January 1995, and you can designate any timeframe you like in order to make a better decision about whether to buy, sell, or hold tight.
Why Monitor Gold in Indian Rupees?
Monitoring gold in Indian rupees is necessary because all precious metals investors who do not regularly use American dollars have to calculate values in two dimensions, rather than one. You have to keep track of the actual spot price’s movements, of course, but you also have to keep an eye on the exchange rates between USD and INR.
A rupee that exchanges into dollars at a certain rate today may be worth more or less tomorrow. Thus, it can be quite useful to understand when a trading opportunity may have appeared strictly due to floating rates. At some level, it might be possible to make a valuable trade without gold’s price changing at all. For instance:
- A weakening Indian rupee against the dollar makes buying gold expensive because it takes more rupees to buy the same amount of gold. This situation leads to a decrease in demand, and can result in the price of gold going down.
- A stronger Indian rupee suggests the converse situation, where buying is more favorable but selling is less advantageous. Thus, it is not uncommon to see prices rise against a weaker dollar.
How to Use the Gold Price Chart
Using the chart is a fairly simple and straightforward endeavor. The graphic display is a representation of gold prices at the close of business for each day since 1995.
While there are buttons for preset timeframes, you can also choose whichever time period you want to examine. Simply set the date range tool at the bottom left, or move the sliders under the chart itself until it reflects what you want.
You can also hover over the chart itself for more detailed information about the exact closing price on specific dates. You may have to zoom in for specific dates, but it’s easy to do so.
Gold Price in INR vs USD
In truth, the best use for measuring gold’s value in Indian rupees is as a measure of local purchasing power. As mentioned, expressing gold’s price in INR reflects both the actual value of gold and the strength of the rupee itself against the US dollar.
However, prices are not entirely objective measures when it comes to investments. So, recognize that there may be reverberations in the INR price based on the local perception of the currency’s strength, rather than as a reflection of the value of gold itself.

Notable Events that Caused the Price to Shift
Over the past 30 years, there have been several notable shifts in the price of gold. Here are some of the more notable events where the price of gold in Indian rupees has moved in a significant direction.
Date | Closing price (INR) | Notes |
May 4, 2006 | ₹30,048.28 | The first time the price for an ounce of gold exceeded ₹30,000 in the nation’s history. The mark is largely arbitrary, though, and was part of a rising price pattern in response to rising crude oil prices and increased purchasing by central banks. |
October 17, 2007 | ₹29,862.00 | After dancing around ₹30,000 for more than a year, the closing price on this day represents the very last sub-₹30k price for gold – ever. Growing concerns about the worldwide recession had produced an ever-increasing gold price, and the days of paying ₹20k and change were officially over. |
August 10, 2011 | ₹81,118.31 | Each of the first 10 days of August 2011 bore witness to new all-time high prices for gold. This new price was especially startling given the fact that gold was trading for less than ₹60k in January 2011. The year’s explosive growth came in response to concerns over inflation and the Eurozone debt crisis, which bore far-reaching ramifications worldwide. |
September 13, 2012 | ₹97,907.47 | A new all-time high and, at the time, was the closest that the price of gold had ever come to breaking through the ₹100k barrier. This record high price occurred as a continued reflection of the global economic turmoil, rather than any specific event. Similar spikes occurred in November 2012 as well, but this price would remain the high water mark for Indian gold prices for almost seven years. |
August 3, 2020 | ₹152,307.34 | The new clear recordholder for Indian gold prices occurs at roughly the same time as the record in USD happens. Both are due to fears and uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. |
April 21, 2025 | ₹287,168.37 | The past year and a half has been nothing short of remarkable for the gold market. Beginning in February 2024, the price of gold has gained more than ₹120,000 rupees of value. It has nearly doubled in value in less than five years, and a rupee purchased in 2006 would be worth roughly ten times its value now. All of this spike is due to massive global inflation and, frankly, the world’s general nervousness about US President Donald J. Trump, particularly with respect to his more aggressive approach to tariffs. |
What Influences the Price of Gold?
Like any commodity, the price for an ounce of gold is a statement about the status of gold’s supply and demand. Various factors can influence either side of this interaction and cause major fluctuations in gold’s price, either positively or negatively. Here are some of those factors:
- Economic stability – Both the local and the global economic outlook can play a role in the demand for gold. If times are good, people are more likely to stick with other investments. When times get hard, gold becomes much more attractive to investors.
- Inflation – The dilution of currency value causes investors to demand more tangible and permanent investments to store their wealth. Gold is the natural beneficiary of investor attention whenever the world’s governments begin printing out more money.
- Interest rates – Higher interest rates usually propel investors to try and take advantage of other financial vehicles, such as bonds and treasury bills, which benefit from the increased returns. If interest rates drop, these same investors are more likely to turn to gold.
- Geopolitics – Gold ore is not equally distributed throughout the world, and nations with particularly rich gold resources are not necessarily open trading partners to the rest of the global community. So, they may restrict gold exports to certain countries and create supply shortages, which pushes the gold price higher. On the other hand, if they loosen restrictions, the flood of new gold into the market can make it cheaper for everyone.
- Logistical issues – Even if an ore producer is willing, logistical issues may make it infeasible to remove the remaining ore from the ground. Those issues may be economical, ecological, or labor-related. For instance, labor shortages in South Africa have caused notable spikes in the price of platinum over the years due to South Africa’s dominance as the world’s preeminent platinum resource.
- Technological advances – This one is twofold. A technological advance in mining may make more gold accessible than ever before, and cause global prices to decrease as new gold floods the market. On the other hand, technological advances in other industries may create increased need for gold resources and reduce supply, thereby spiking gold prices in the process.
The India Government Mint
The Indian Government Mint operates four separate branches for the production of coinage. These branches are located in Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Noida. The mint supplies coinage to the Reserve Bank of India under the 1906 Coinage Act.
Some of the mint branches produce coin blanks in addition to coinage. Some also feature assaying services. The Mumbai branch is capable of refining gold to .9999 percent purity.
In addition to coins, the mint also produces medallions and commemorative coins.
India’s economy is one of the largest in the world, and it plays a major role in the global economy. The country is classified as a G-20 major economy, and has reportedly seen average economic growth of about 7% over the last two decades.
India may continue to see strong growth rates, and its relatively young population along with ongoing integration into the global economy could boost the nation’s economic standing over the next several years.
The IT industry is one of the largest private sector employers in India, and this area may potentially continue to see significant growth.
Further growth in the Indian economy could potentially increase the value of the nation’s currency. In addition, if incomes and investment rise, demand for gold could potentially increase significantly.
