Patna : After a sharp surge the previous day, gold prices in Patna have seen a slight decline on Tuesday. The price of 24-karat gold stands at Rs8,782 per gram, down from Rs9,556 on April 15. Meanwhile, 22-karat gold is priced at Rs8,050 per gram, and 18-karat gold is selling at Rs6,587 per gram.
The minor dip comes amid steady global cues and a temporary easing of geopolitical tensions, which had earlier driven a surge in investor demand for the yellow metal. However, the broader outlook for gold remains positive, with analysts predicting potential gains in the coming weeks due to continued market volatility.
Patna, being one of the major gold markets in eastern India, continues to experience robust consumer interest, especially with the festive and wedding season around the corner. Jewelers across the city reported stable footfall, with many customers closely monitoring daily price movements.
“While prices have cooled off slightly today, we expect demand to remain strong in the days ahead,” said a local jeweler in Boring Road. “Customers are asking more questions and making pre-bookings, especially for 22-karat jewelry.”
Buyers are advised to keep a close eye on live rates and verify prices across different retailers. Making charges—typically ranging from 10% to 20%—and 3% GST are applicable over the displayed gold rates, affecting the final billing amount.
With global markets expected to remain volatile, analysts predict that gold could see further appreciation in the coming weeks. Consumers in Patna are therefore being urged to make well-informed buying decisions to get the best value for their investment.
