Silver prices surged by ₹2,758 to reach ₹1,61,783 per kilogram (up 1.73%) on Thursday, November 27, 2025, as India’s benchmark stock indices scaled new peaks driven by positive global market cues. On Wednesday, silver was trading at ₹1,59,025 per kg. In contrast, gold prices fell by ₹224 to ₹1,25,857 per 10 grams, from Wednesday’s ₹1,26,081, according to the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA). Gold had hit its all-time high of ₹1,30,874 per 10 grams on October 17, while silver reached a record high of ₹1,78,100 per kilo on October 14. Why do gold rates differ across cities? IBJA’s gold rates do not include 3% GST, making charges, or jewellers’ margins. These additional costs vary from city to city, which leads to price differences. Several banks, including Punjab National Bank, also use IBJA rates to set their gold loan values.

Two Things To Keep In Mind When Buying Gold Buy only certified gold: Always purchase BIS-hallmarked gold. The hallmark number—often alphanumeric, such as AZ4524—indicates the purity and carat of the gold. Cross-check the price: Verify the gold rate and weight at the time of purchase using multiple sources, such as the India Bullion and Jewellers Association website. Gold prices differ for 24-carat, 22-carat, and 18-carat purity levels. ​
