Gold Prices Fall in India; Check 24K, 22K Rates Today
On Thursday, August 13, 2026, gold became a little cheaper in India.
Gold is a shiny yellow metal people use for jewelry and to keep their money safe.
The price of gold fell on a special market called the MCX.
One very pure kind of gold is called 24-carat gold, while 22-carat gold is used in most jewelry.
Different websites reported slightly different prices.
One website gave average prices for all of India, and another listed prices for each city.
In cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata, gold prices dropped by a small amount compared to the day before.
One report said prices went up, though, which is confusing.
Gold prices have been changing a lot because there is trouble in the Middle East.
So the exact price you see can depend on the city and the website you check.
Gold prices declined in India on Thursday, August 13, 2026, with MCX gold futures slipping 0.34% and opening at Rs 1.55 lakh per 10 grams.
Goodreturns.in lists all-India rates at Rs 15,513 per gram for 24K gold (99.9% purity), Rs 14,220 for 22K (91.6%) and Rs 11,635 for 18K (75%).
Bankbazaar.com city rates show 22K gold down Rs 25-50 per gram and 24K gold down Rs 26-53 per gram in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Bengaluru.
Sources contradict the day's direction: goodreturns.in reported 24K, 22K and 18K up Rs 27, Rs 25 and Rs 21 from August 12, while city rates and the MCX show falls.
The decline follows a seven-session winning streak, and articles note Middle East turmoil keeps precious metal markets fluctuating day to day.
