New Delhi/Patna: Gold and silver prices in India rose sharply on March 25, continuing their upward trajectory after a brief phase of correction in recent weeks.
According to data from the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA), the price of 10 grams of 24-carat gold increased by Rs 5,000 to reach Rs 1.45 lakh. Silver also recorded a significant rise, climbing by Rs 9,000 to Rs 2.34 lakh per kilogram.
The latest increase builds on a broader upward trend seen since the start of the year. Gold, which was priced at around Rs 1.33 lakh per 10 grams at the end of December 2025, has gained roughly Rs 11,000 so far in 2026.
Silver has also edged higher during this period, though its gains have been more moderate in comparison.
Market experts say that while gold has recently entered a correction phase following record highs, its long-term outlook remains positive. They suggest that investors may consider staggered investments to navigate short-term volatility.
Advisers also recommend that buyers ensure the authenticity and pricing of gold purchases. Certified gold with Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) hallmarking is considered essential for verifying purity, while checking prevailing market rates can help avoid overpricing.
Analysts said continued global uncertainties and investor demand for safe-haven assets are likely to influence price movements in the coming weeks.
