The gold and silver prices took a surprising downturn on December 30 after showing a significant spike of nearly ₹500 earlier in the month. This steep decline in gold and silver prices across the country is a cause for concern for many investors and consumers.
In the national capital of Delhi, the gold prices dropped by over ₹400 on December 30, showing a significant decrease. Similarly, silver prices also experienced a marginal decline of around ₹1.20 on the same day.

For instance, according to the updated rates for December 30, the price for 22K gold is ₹58,700 for 10 grams, while the price for 24K gold is ₹63,970 in Delhi. These rates are indicative and do not take into account GST, TCS, and other levies. This means that local jewelers may offer different prices based on the current market conditions.

For example, in Mumbai, the 22K gold price is ₹58,550 per 10 grams, while in Bengaluru it is ₹58,550.
