Over the last 20 years, gold rates in India have seen significant fluctuations, reflecting global economic conditions and domestic demand. In the early 2000s, gold was priced around ?5,000-6,000 per 10 grams. By 2008, amid the global financial crisis, prices surged to ?12,000 per 10 grams. Over the next decade, gold prices steadily increased, peaking in 2012 at over ?30,000 per 10 grams. In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and economic uncertainty, prices soared past ?50,000. Since then, they have remained volatile, influenced by inflation, geopolitical tensions, and the rupee’s performance against the dollar. As of 2025, gold continues to be a popular investment option, with prices fluctuating around ?60,000-65,000 per 10 grams.
