Gold and silver prices touched all-time highs on Monday, 22 December 2025. According to the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA), gold prices rose by ₹1,805 to ₹1,33,584 per 10 grams, up from ₹1,31,779 earlier. Silver also witnessed a sharp rise, with prices increasing by ₹7,483 to ₹2,07,550 per kilogram from ₹2,00,067. So far this year, gold has become costlier by ₹57,422, while silver prices have jumped by ₹1,21,533. Why Do Gold Prices Vary Across Cities? IBJA prices do not include 3% GST, making charges, or jewellers’ margins. These additional costs lead to variations in city-wise prices. The Reserve Bank of India uses IBJA rates to determine Sovereign Gold Bond prices, and many banks rely on them for gold loan valuations.
