Gold has long been considered a reliable hedge against inflation, and more investors are now viewing it as a key part of their investment portfolios. The rates shared by Goodreturns (OneIndia Money) are provided for informational purposes and are based on updates from well-known jewellers across the country.
Today, silver in India is priced at ₹260 per gram and ₹2,60,000 per kilogram.
Silver rates in the domestic market are largely influenced by global price movements, which can fluctuate in either direction. In addition, currency exchange rates also play an important role—if the Indian rupee weakens against the US dollar while international silver prices stay unchanged, the cost of silver in India tends to rise.
