Gold Prices Fall Across India on October 6
Gold prices in India went down a little on October 6, according to Goodreturns.
The report gives three prices for gold with different levels of purity.
The most pure, 24-carat gold, was listed at Rs 14,902 per gram.
The 22-carat rate was Rs 13,660, and the 18-carat rate was Rs 11,177.
Each rate was lower than the day before.
Prices were not exactly the same in every city.
For example, Delhi’s listed 24-carat price was higher than the national rate.
Chennai’s listed 18-carat price was also different.
The article’s table labels its figures as prices for 10 grams, even though the text describes them as prices per gram.
