Gold prices vary from city to city due to local demand, taxes, transportation costs, etc.

Gold prices fluctuate based on several key factors:

Demand and Supply
- Higher demand with limited supply drives prices up, while oversupply with low demand pushes prices down.
- Demand typically increases during weddings and festivals.
Inflation
- When inflation rises, currency’s value falls, leading people to invest in gold, which drives its price.
Interest Rates
- Gold prices often move inversely to interest rates. Higher interest rates may lead to selling gold, while lower rates encourage buying.
Monsoon
- Good monsoon seasons boost rural incomes, increasing demand for gold.
Government Reserves
- The Reserve Bank of India holds gold reserves. If the government has more gold than it sells, prices increase due to the limited supply.
Currency Fluctuations
- Gold is traded internationally in US dollars. When the Indian rupee weakens against the dollar, gold prices in India rise.
Correlation with Other Assets
- Gold often moves independently of other assets, making it a good diversifier for investment portfolios.
Geopolitical Factors
- Gold prices rise during political instability or conflict as investors seek safe havens.
Local Taxes
- Taxes like the octroi (city entry tax) and the entry tax (state entry tax) can affect gold prices. Wealth tax may also apply to holdings over ₹30 lakhs.
Making Charges
- These charges vary based on the jewelry design and the jeweler, affecting the final price of gold jewelry.

With this information, you can make a more informed decision when investing in or purchasing gold. Happy buying!
