New Delhi/Patna: Gold and silver prices recorded a marginal rise on April 30, extending their upward trend so far this year, according to data released by the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA).
Gold Price Movement
The price of 10 grams of 24-carat gold increased by Rs 679 to reach Rs 148,652, compared with Rs 147,973 in the previous session.
Analysts said gold prices have seen a steady rise in 2026, climbing by around Rs 16,000 since the beginning of the year. On December 31, 2025, gold was priced at approximately Rs 1.33 lakh per 10 grams.
Silver Price Movement
Silver prices also moved higher, rising by Rs 582 to Rs 236,882 per kilogram from Rs 236,300 earlier in the day.
So far this year, silver has gained around Rs 7,000, up from Rs 2.30 lakh per kilogram at the end of 2025.
Market observers attribute the rise in precious metal prices to ongoing global economic uncertainty and steady investment demand.
Consumer Advisory
Experts advise buyers to purchase only certified gold with a Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) hallmark to ensure purity.
Consumers are also encouraged to verify daily prices through reliable sources, as rates vary depending on the purity levels such as 24-carat, 22-carat and 18-carat gold.
Officials said price fluctuations are expected to continue in the near term in response to global and domestic market dynamics.
