Gold and silver prices remain important for buyers and investors tracking the bullion market on Sunday, October 18, 2026. Rates can vary across cities depending on local market premiums, transportation expenses and other pricing factors. International bullion movements and changes in the rupee's value against the US dollar also influence domestic prices.
Here is an indicative city-wise comparison using the latest available market data. The linked DNA India article returned an access error, so its exact figures could not be verified.
Gold purity is an important consideration when comparing prices. While 24K gold is generally used for investment products such as bars and coins, 22K gold is widely used in jewellery because it offers greater durability.
Silver prices are also closely watched by buyers purchasing jewellery, utensils, coins and investment products. However, the final amount paid at a jewellery store may differ from the quoted metal rate because of making charges, applicable taxes and dealer premiums.
Before making a purchase, consumers should confirm the day's rate with a local jeweller and check the purity and additional charges applicable to their chosen product.
