The India Bullion Jewellers Association established baseline morning rates on November 6, 2026, pegging 24-karat gold at Rs 14,102 per gram and 22-karat gold at Rs 13,764 per gram. Under this pricing structure, an outlay of Rs 50,000 yields roughly 3.55 grams of pure gold or 3.63 grams of 22-karat gold, while a Rs 5 lakh spend secures over 35 grams of either purity. Beyond these high-purity categories, the benchmark listings also specified rates for lower purities, such as 14-karat gold at Rs 9,096 per gram, alongside silver at Rs 1,81,863 per kilogram. Final retail expenditures will ultimately fluctuate depending on jeweller making charges and regional tax variations.
