Gold and silver prices (21 April 2026): Rates across major cities

Gold and silver prices in India remained broadly stable on Monday, 21 April 2026, with minor variations across major cities. The domestic bullion market reflected steady global cues, while currency movements continued to influence day-to-day price fluctuations.

The price of 24-karat gold was recorded at ₹15,529 per gram, while 22-karat gold stood at ₹14,235 per gram. The 18-karat variety was priced at ₹11,647 per gram. In Chennai, gold rates were marginally higher, with 24K gold at ₹15,600 per gram.

Silver prices also held steady, with the metal priced at ₹265 per gram and ₹2,65,000 per kilogram in most major cities. However, in cities such as Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kerala, silver traded slightly higher at ₹2,750 per 10 grams, or ₹2,75,000 per kilogram.

Market analysts note that gold and silver prices in India continue to be influenced by international bullion trends and fluctuations in the rupee against the US dollar. A weaker rupee typically makes imported precious metals more expensive, even if global prices remain unchanged.

Traders expect near-term stability unless there are significant changes in global economic indicators or central bank policy decisions affecting commodity markets.
