Silver Prices Drop in India
On January 31, 2025, and continuing into February 1, 2026, the price of silver in India went down a lot.
In cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, and Hyderabad, the price of one gram of silver dropped by ₹65 on January 31, 2025, and then by another ₹30 on February 1, 2026.
The price of one kilogram of silver also dropped by ₹65,000 on January 31, 2025, and then by another ₹30,000 on February 1, 2026.
This means silver is cheaper now than it was before.
Experts say that while they think silver is a good investment, people should be careful and not spend all their money on it.
The price changes reflect a significant drop from the previous session's closing prices, with some analysts describing it as a strong correction.
The decline was driven by global factors such as a sharp rebound in the U.S. dollar, broad-based global market weakness, and the nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve chair.
Some experts think this drop is a correction, while others believe the Budget 2026 might help prices go back up.
Silver prices in India dropped by ₹65 per gram and ₹65,000 per kg on January 31, 2025, and then by another ₹30 per gram and ₹30,000 per kg on February 1, 2026.
The decline was seen across major cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, and Hyderabad.
The new price for one gram of silver is ₹320, and for one kg, it is ₹3,20,000 as of February 1, 2026.
