Patna: Gold and silver prices declined for the second consecutive day on February 13, extending losses after touching record highs last month.
According to the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA), the price of silver fell by Rs 17,188 to Rs 2,41,945 per kilogram. On Thursday, silver was priced at Rs 2,59,133 per kg, and it stood at Rs 2,66,449 on February 11 — marking a two-day drop of nearly Rs 24,000.
Gold also saw a sharp correction. The price of 10 grams of 24-carat gold fell by Rs 2,899 to Rs 1,52,751, down from Rs 1,55,650 on Thursday. On January 29, gold had reached an all-time high of Rs 1,76,121 per 10 grams, while silver peaked at Rs 3,85,933 per kg in the bullion market.
Despite the recent decline, both metals remain significantly higher compared with the end of last year. In the past 44 days, gold has risen by Rs 19,556 and silver by Rs 11,525.
Since December 31, 2025, gold prices have increased by Rs 22,455. On the last trading day of 2025, 10 grams of 24-carat gold were priced at Rs 1,33,195, compared with Rs 1,52,751 now.
Silver, too, remains elevated. From Rs 2,30,420 per kilogram on December 31, 2025, it has climbed by Rs 28,713 to Rs 2,41,945.
IBJA rates exclude 3% GST, making charges and jewellers’ margins, meaning retail prices vary across cities.
Industry experts continue to advise buyers to purchase certified gold hallmarked by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Hallmarking confirms the purity of gold and is indicated by an alphanumeric code stamped on the jewellery.
