✍️ Gold Suresh's Note — 23 May 2026
Checked the rates this morning as usual. Today's 22K gold rate in India is ₹14,580 per gram, 24K is ₹15,906, and 18K is ₹11,929. I update this every morning after the IBJA publishes the daily benchmark so you have the number before you walk into any jewellery shop today.
If you are buying jewellery today, do not forget to add making charges and GST on top of these numbers. The rate you see here is just the metal cost. Use the calculator on the homepage to get your exact bill amount before you agree to anything at the counter.

For those buying 24K gold coins or bars for investment — today's rate is ₹15,906 per gram. A 5 gram coin will cost you around ₹79,530 plus GST.
