Therefore, in Delhi, you will have to shell ₹47,150 to buy 10 grammes of 22K gold and ₹51,450 for 10 grammes of 24K of the metal. The corresponding prices in other metros for 22K and 24K, in that order, are ₹47,060, ₹51,340 (Bengaluru), ₹47,410, ₹51,720 (Chennai), and ₹47,010, ₹51,290 (Hyderabad, Kolkata and Mumbai).

In India, gold becomes more expensive if the rupee slides against the US dollar. The rates also depend on factors such as volatile policies, economic growth etc.

On the other hand, there is no change in silver prices, as per Goodreturns. The website shows that in Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai, 10 grammes of the metal are at ₹577, while an equal quantity costs ₹632 in Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad.

For silver, too, its daily price depends on the rupee's position against the dollar. If the rupee slips, the rates go up. Also, silver is always cheaper than gold.
