Gold Prices Witness Downturn Across India
The price of gold in India took a downward turn on Thursday, November 20, 2025, marking a shift from the previous day's upward trend. The precious metal, often seen as a safe haven against inflation, saw its value decrease across all major purity levels, impacting both investors and jewellery buyers.
Today's Carat-Wise Gold Rates Per Gram
As of today, the domestic gold market has registered the following prices per gram: 24-carat gold is trading at ₹12,469, experiencing a drop of ₹17. For those interested in jewellery-making purities, 22-carat gold is priced at ₹11,430 per gram, falling by ₹15, while 18-carat gold now costs ₹9,352 per gram, down by ₹12.
Market Volatility and Consumer Impact
This recent dip continues a pattern of significant volatility observed in the gold market. After reaching a record high in early October, prices have shown a declining tendency throughout November. The distinction in usage remains clear: 24-carat gold is predominantly used for investment purposes, being the purest and most expensive form. In contrast, 22-carat and 18-carat gold are the preferred choices for crafting jewellery due to their enhanced durability. Today's price correction is being closely monitored by traders and consumers in major hubs including Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Bangalore, and Hyderabad.
