Demand for 22 Carat Gold in Jewellery
For jewellery making, 22 carat gold remains the most popular choice among Indian buyers. Unlike 24 carat gold, which is softer, 22 carat gold is mixed with small amounts of other metals like copper and zinc. This alloy composition makes the gold more durable and suitable for crafting intricate jewellery designs.
Market Trends and Investor Sentiment
The surge in gold and silver prices reflects not only festive and wedding season demand but also broader economic trends. Precious metals are often considered safe-haven assets during periods of uncertainty. With gold prices moving steadily towards ₹110,000 per 10 grams, investors view it as a reliable option for portfolio diversification.
Silver, often referred to as the “poor man’s gold,” is also showing resilience. Its increasing use in industries such as solar panels and electronics has added to the bullish outlook.
On 12 September 2025, gold and silver prices in India surged significantly, with 24 carat gold touching ₹109,561 per 10 grams and silver climbing to ₹128,464 per kilogram. The upward trend highlights continued investor interest and rising consumer demand.
While Raipur remains the cheapest city for gold and Kanpur the lowest for silver, buyers in Bhopal, Indore, and Chandigarh face the highest prices. For jewellery purposes, 22 carat gold continues to dominate due to its strength and durability.
As gold approaches the ₹110,000 mark and silver maintains its strong pace, both metals remain central to India’s investment and cultural landscape. Buyers and investors alike are keeping a close watch on the market, anticipating further developments in the days ahead.
