On February 26, 2026, 24-carat gold saw a price rise of 35 rupees, bringing the cost to 159,043 rupees per 10 grams. The increment in gold prices reflects ongoing trends in the bullion market as monitored by the India Bullion and Jewelers Association. Alongside gold, silver prices have also experienced a minor increase, indicating a general upward movement in precious metal costs in India. This rise in gold and silver prices can impact various sectors including jewelry manufacturing and investments, as these commodities are heavily relied upon in Indian culture, especially during festivity seasons. Market analysts suggest that fluctuations in global market conditions, along with domestic factors such as inflation and demand during peak usage seasons, are likely causes of these changes in pricing.
