Daily shifts in Indian retail gold and silver rates

Retail gold prices in India are seeing sharp, frequent moves, with data from FXStreet, News18, and jewellers like Jos Alukkas showing both steep rallies and pullbacks in late February and early March 2026. A conflict-driven surge linked to Middle East tensions has been followed by easing in national averages, even as some regions such as Tamil Nadu and cities like Hyderabad record outsized jumps compared with more stable states. Updates break down 18K, 22K, and 24K rates and highlight divergent trends across local markets. These fluctuations matter for jewellery buyers, households, and global investors watching physical demand in one of the world’s largest gold-consuming countries.
