New Delhi, India — January 11, 2026
Volatility in international markets has triggered a sharp movement in precious metal prices, leading to a major shift in India’s bullion market. As the new year begins, gold and silver prices have climbed across key Indian cities, drawing renewed attention from investors and retail buyers.
In Delhi’s bullion market, 24-carat gold was priced at ₹14,061 per gram, while 22-carat gold stood at ₹12,890 per gram. 18-carat gold (999 purity) was recorded at ₹10,549 per gram, reflecting steady demand amid global uncertainty.
Market experts attribute the rise to fluctuations in international gold prices, currency movements, and ongoing geopolitical and economic concerns, which traditionally increase demand for safe-haven assets like gold and silver.
