Mumbai: As Akshaya Tritiya is coming close, more people are buying jewellery. Because of this, business in the jewellery market has increased. At the same time, gold prices are changing every day. Today, gold prices have gone up again. Silver prices have also increased.
In the last one year, gold prices have increased by more than 50%. Many reasons are behind this rise. Global issues like the Russia-Ukraine war, tensions between the US, Israel and Iran, and US trade policies have affected gold prices.
If we look at the data, gold has become much more expensive. On April 30, 2025, the price of 24-carat gold in Delhi was about ₹99,500 per 10 grams. Now, it has crossed ₹1.5 lakh.
Today, on April 16, 2026, the price of 24-carat gold is ₹1,57,255 per 10 grams. This means gold has become costlier by ₹57,755 in one year.
With the festival near, demand may increase more, so prices can stay high.
