22K & 24K gold price today — November 26, 2025
Gold prices on November 26, 2025 showed the usual city-to-city variation across India, driven by international bullion trends, the rupee’s movement and local taxes and making charges. Retail rates for 24K (99.9% purity) and 22K (91.6% purity) are quoted by jewellers per gram and per 10 grams, and the final amount a buyer pays also depends on state VAT/GST and shop-specific making charges.
Market snapshot
- International cues: Global bullion and dollar moves remain the primary drivers for domestic prices.
- Rupee impact: A stronger rupee usually eases local gold rates; a weaker rupee tends to push them higher.
- Retail premium: 22K is priced lower than 24K because of lower purity; however, jewellery making charges and taxes can change the effective retail difference.
How prices differ across Indian cities
Major centres such as Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Pune may show small variations in quoted gold prices on the same day. Differences come from:
- Local state taxes and duties.
- Individual jeweller making charges and discounts.
- Transportation and logistics costs for physical stock.
Simple conversion: 24K to 22K
To estimate 22K from a quoted 24K rate use the purity ratio. Multiply the 24K price by 0.916 (22/24). For example, if 24K is quoted per 10 grams, 22K per 10 grams ≈ 24K price × 0.916. Remember this gives a base metal value — retail price will add making charges and taxes.
What to watch today
- International gold prices and US dollar strength.
- Local currency movement against the dollar.
- Announcements on duties or taxes that could affect retail premiums.
Quick tips for buyers
- Compare quotes from multiple jewellers in your city for the same weight and design.
- Ask for a full break-up: metal price, making charges, GST/VAT and any exchange policies.
- For investment-grade gold, consider buying hallmarked coins or bars to minimize making charges.
