Gold Rate Today, August 8: Carat Prices Rise Across India

Gold is a shiny metal that people like to buy as jewelry or to save money.

In India, the price of gold is given for each gram.

On August 8, 2026, one gram of the purest gold, called 24 carat, cost Rs 15,235.

That was Rs 109 more than the day before.

Gold with a bit less purity, called 22 carat, cost Rs 13,965 per gram, which was Rs 100 more.

Gold used in many ornaments, called 18 carat, cost Rs 11,426 per gram, up by Rs 82.

Gold prices change almost every day.

Recently, prices went down a little when the world felt calmer.

But there is tension in the Middle East, and that makes gold prices go up and down a lot.

So buyers in cities like Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, and Kolkata watch the daily rate closely.
