India is one of the countries with the highest global demand for gold in the world. Since the country does not have enough gold mines of its own, the precious metal is also a major import item. It attracts high tax rates that lead to increased import prices.

The price of gold and silver in India is influenced by the value of the Indian Rupee in relation to the US dollar, as well as other factors such as global demand, manufacturing expenses, labour costs, state-specific taxes, excise taxes, and an additional GST on finished jewellery. As a result, prices for gold jewellery can vary significantly from one state to another. Customers should check for purity of gold and the latest prices before making a purchase.
