Today on October 6 2026 I saw that Kolkata Gold and Silver Price Today stayed high. The Kolkata gold market felt some pressure because the US dollar was stronger and US Treasury yields were higher.
According to Kolkata rates for October 6 24-karat gold costs ₹14,902 per gram. 22-Karat gold costs ₹13,660 per gram. 18-Karat gold costs ₹11,177 per gram.
The Kolkata rate card shows that 24K gold fell by ₹16 per gram. 22K gold fell by ₹15 per gram. 18K gold fell by ₹12 per gram. Silver is quoted at ₹235 per gram or ₹2,35,000 per kilogram.
The market backdrop shows that Kolkata gold feels short‑term pressure even though prices stay historically high. Reuters reported on October 6 that spot gold slipped because the US dollar strengthened and Treasury yields rose. Expectations about Federal Reserve policy still influence prices.
For buyers the key point is that gold rates may differ from one city to another from one jeweller to another and from one pricing source to another. NDTV Profit’s city‑wise reference for October 6 listed 24K gold at ₹1,48,980 per 10 grams in Kolkata. 22K gold was listed at ₹1,36,565 per 10 grams.
Therefore buyers should treat the Kolkata figures in this article as the retail reference rates, for the day. Buyers should confirm the billing price with their jeweller before making a purchase. I hope this helps you decide.
Kolkata Gold and Silver Price Today: October 6, 2026
The following rates are based on the Kolkata figures supplied for this report:
| Gold Purity | Price Per Gram | Approx. Price Per 10 Grams | Daily Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24K Gold | ₹14,902 | ₹1,49,020 | -₹16/g |
| 22K Gold | ₹13,660 | ₹1,36,600 | -₹15/g |
| 18K Gold | ₹11,177 | ₹1,11,770 | -₹12/g |
| Silver | ₹235/g | ₹2,350/10g | — |
| Silver | ₹2,35,000/kg | — | — |
At the quoted Kolkata rate, the price of 10 grams of 24K gold works out to approximately ₹1,49,020, while 10 grams of 22K gold costs about ₹1,36,600 before any applicable jewellery-making charges and other billing components.
The difference between 24K and 22K gold reflects their different purity levels. Twenty-four-karat gold is approximately 99.9% pure, while 22K gold is approximately 91.6% pure. Eighteen-karat gold contains around 75% pure gold and is generally preferred for jewellery designs requiring greater hardness and durability.
24K Gold vs 22K Gold vs 18K Gold: What Should Buyers Know?
24K Gold
24K gold represents the highest commonly traded purity category and is generally around 99.9% pure. It is widely used for bullion, coins and investment products.
At the supplied Kolkata rate of ₹14,902 per gram, 10 grams of 24K gold would cost approximately ₹1,49,020 before applicable taxes or other charges.
Because pure gold is relatively soft, 24K gold is not normally the preferred option for everyday jewellery.
22K Gold
22K gold contains approximately 91.6% gold, with the remaining portion consisting of other metals that improve strength.
This makes 22K gold particularly popular for traditional Indian jewellery.
At ₹13,660 per gram, 10 grams of 22K gold would have a base metal value of approximately ₹1,36,600 before jewellery-related charges.
For consumers buying necklaces, bangles, chains, earrings or traditional wedding jewellery, 22K is therefore an important price benchmark.
18K Gold
18K gold contains approximately 75% pure gold. The remaining 25% consists of other metals.
It is commonly used for contemporary jewellery, diamond jewellery and designs where greater strength is required.
At the supplied Kolkata rate of ₹11,177 per gram, 10 grams would cost approximately ₹1,11,770 before applicable charges.
The lower per-gram price does not mean that 18K jewellery is inferior. It simply contains a lower proportion of pure gold and may offer greater durability for certain jewellery applications.
Silver Rate in Kolkata Today
Silver is quoted at ₹235 per gram in Kolkata on October 6, 2026, according to the supplied data.
That translates into:
- ₹235 per gram
- ₹2,350 per 10 grams
- ₹2,35,000 per kilogram
Silver has also experienced substantial volatility in 2026. The metal is influenced not only by investment demand but also by industrial consumption.
Silver is used in electronics, solar technologies, electrical applications and several industrial processes. As a result, its price can react to both financial-market conditions and expectations for industrial demand.
The supplied Kolkata rate of ₹2.35 lakh per kilogram is therefore an important reference for consumers buying silver bars, coins, utensils or jewellery.
However, silver jewellery and articles can carry additional manufacturing or making charges, meaning the final amount paid by a consumer may be higher than the underlying metal price.
State-Wise Gold and Silver Rates in India Today
Gold does not have one identical retail price across every Indian city. The underlying international and domestic bullion market creates a common benchmark, but local market conditions, transportation, dealer margins, taxes, demand and pricing practices can create differences.
The following table gives an indicative city-wise reference across major states and regions, using October 6 market reports where available. These should not be interpreted as fixed official rates for every jeweller in the respective state.
| State/Region | Major City | 24K Gold/10g | 22K Gold/10g | Silver/kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| West Bengal | Kolkata | ₹1,48,990* | ₹1,36,574* | ₹2,25,140* |
| Maharashtra | Mumbai | ₹1,49,100* | ₹1,36,675* | ₹2,25,290* |
| Delhi NCR | New Delhi | ₹1,48,850* | ₹1,36,440* | ₹2,24,900* |
| Karnataka | Bengaluru | ₹1,49,310* | ₹1,36,868* | ₹2,25,610* |
| Telangana | Hyderabad | ₹1,49,430* | ₹1,36,978* | ₹2,25,790* |
| Tamil Nadu | Chennai | ₹1,49,620* | ₹1,37,152* | ₹2,26,090* |

*Major-city reference rates published for October 6 by Mint. **Patna figures are from a separate October 6 reference source.
The table highlights an important feature of India’s gold market: differences between major cities are relatively small when compared with the overall value of the metal. For example, the October 6 reference data shows 24K gold around ₹1.49 lakh per 10 grams across Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai.
That does not mean a consumer will necessarily receive exactly the same final jewellery price in every city.
West Bengal: Kolkata Remains a Key Gold Market
For West Bengal buyers, Kolkata is the most important reference market.
The supplied October 6 rate places 24K gold at ₹14,902 per gram, 22K at ₹13,660 and 18K at ₹11,177.
Recent published Kolkata data also shows how quickly prices have been changing. Times of India reported 24K gold at ₹14,918 per gram and 22K gold at ₹13,675 per gram on October 6, with the previous days showing considerable movement.
This small difference between sources demonstrates why a buyer should not compare rates solely by headline numbers. The time of the rate update, purity, whether the quote is bullion or retail, and whether taxes are included can all change the displayed price.
Maharashtra: Mumbai Gold and Silver Rates
Mumbai remains one of India’s major bullion and jewellery markets.
The October 6 reference rate cited by Mint placed 24K gold at around ₹1,49,100 per 10 grams, while 22K gold was around ₹1,36,675 per 10 grams. Silver 999 fine was around ₹2,25,290 per kilogram.
Maharashtra buyers should also remember that Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur and other cities can have different retail quotes even though they are within the same state.
Delhi: Gold Prices Remain Near ₹1.49 Lakh Per 10 Grams
In New Delhi, the October 6 reference rate was approximately ₹1,48,850 per 10 grams for 24K gold and ₹1,36,440 for 22K gold. Silver 999 fine was around ₹2,24,900 per kilogram.
Delhi is also a major jewellery trading centre, making its gold rate an important benchmark for North Indian markets.
Karnataka: Bengaluru Gold Rate
Bengaluru recorded one of the higher 24K reference prices among the major cities listed by Mint.
The October 6 rate was approximately ₹1,49,310 per 10 grams for 24K gold, while 22K gold was around ₹1,36,868 per 10 grams. Silver was around ₹2,25,610 per kilogram.
Bengaluru’s jewellery market serves a large urban consumer base, with demand spanning traditional gold jewellery as well as contemporary and diamond jewellery.
Telangana: Hyderabad Gold Rate
Hyderabad also remained close to the ₹1.49 lakh per 10-gram level for 24K gold.
The October 6 reference rate was approximately ₹1,49,430 per 10 grams for 24K gold, while 22K gold was around ₹1,36,978 per 10 grams. Silver 999 fine was approximately ₹2,25,790 per kilogram.
Hyderabad is traditionally an important gold consumption market, particularly for wedding jewellery and other high-value purchases.
Tamil Nadu: Chennai Gold Rate
Chennai recorded the highest 24K and 22K figures among the six major cities listed in the Mint comparison.
The October 6 reference rate was approximately ₹1,49,620 per 10 grams for 24K gold and ₹1,37,152 per 10 grams for 22K gold. Silver was around ₹2,26,090 per kilogram.
Another October 6 report from Indian Express’s Tamil edition said Chennai’s 22K jewellery gold was ₹13,660 per gram, illustrating that different market sources can quote slightly different retail prices at the same time.
This is why consumers should treat online rates as reference points rather than guaranteed shop prices.
Bihar: Patna Gold Rate
Patna is another important eastern Indian gold market.
An October 6 reference from Goodreturns put Patna’s 24K gold at ₹14,907 per gram, 22K gold at ₹13,665 per gram, and 18K gold at ₹11,182 per gram. The same source notes that these rates are indicative and exclude GST, TCS and other applicable charges.
The figures are remarkably close to the Kolkata rates supplied for this report, showing how closely linked many Indian city bullion prices can be.
Why Gold Prices Differ From State to State
A common misconception is that gold should have exactly the same price everywhere in India.
In reality, several factors can create differences.
1. International gold price
Global gold prices provide the foundation for India’s domestic bullion market.
2. US dollar-rupee exchange rate
Since international gold is denominated in dollars, changes in the rupee-dollar exchange rate can affect Indian gold prices.
3. Import-related costs
India imports a substantial portion of its gold requirements. Import duties and related costs therefore influence domestic prices.
4. Local demand
Wedding seasons, festivals and regional buying patterns can influence retail demand.
5. Dealer margins
Different bullion dealers and jewellery companies may use different margins.
6. Making charges
The biggest difference between the displayed gold rate and the final jewellery bill can come from making charges.
7. Taxes
Taxes and other applicable charges can change the final amount payable by the consumer.
For this reason, the gold rate displayed online should not automatically be treated as the final jewellery purchase price.
Gold Jewellery Buyers Should Calculate the Final Bill Carefully
Suppose a consumer purchases a 10-gram 22K gold jewellery item in Kolkata.
At the supplied base rate of ₹13,660 per gram, the gold component alone would be:
₹13,660 × 10 = ₹1,36,600
But the final bill can be higher because jewellery purchases may include making charges, applicable GST and other components.
This is why comparing only the per-gram gold rate is not enough.
A consumer should ask the jeweller for a clear breakdown covering:
- Gold weight
- Gold purity
- Rate per gram
- Making charges
- Wastage, if applicable
- Stone or diamond charges
- Applicable GST
- Final payable amount
This makes it easier to compare two jewellery shops accurately.
Gold and Silver Outlook: What Could Influence Prices Next?
Several factors could determine the next major move in gold and silver.
US interest rates: Expectations around Federal Reserve policy remain crucial. Lower expected interest rates can support gold, while higher-for-longer rates can pressure it.
US Treasury yields: Rising yields can make non-yielding assets such as gold less attractive.
Dollar movement: A stronger dollar can weigh on international gold prices.
Geopolitical risks: Conflicts and uncertainty can increase safe-haven demand.
Central-bank purchases: Continued official-sector demand can provide structural support to gold.
Industrial demand: Silver has an additional driver because of its industrial applications.
Indian festival and wedding demand: Domestic physical demand can influence local premiums and retail pricing.
Gold Rate Today in Kolkata: Key Takeaways
The October 6 Kolkata rate card presents a market that is still trading at very high absolute levels despite the day’s decline.
The supplied rates are:
- 24K gold: ₹14,902 per gram
- 22K gold: ₹13,660 per gram
- 18K gold: ₹11,177 per gram
- Silver: ₹235 per gram
- Silver: ₹2,35,000 per kilogram
The day-on-day decline is relatively modest compared with the overall value of the metal. At the same time, independent market reports show slightly different rates across sources and cities. That difference is normal because gold prices can change during the day and because bullion, retail and jewellery rates are not always calculated on exactly the same basis.
For consumers in Kolkata and elsewhere in India, the safest approach is to use online rates as a benchmark and then obtain a detailed quotation from the jeweller before making the purchase.
Market Outlook
Gold remains one of India’s most closely watched precious metals, and October 6, 2026, is no exception. Kolkata’s quoted rate of ₹14,902 per gram for 24K gold keeps the precious metal near historically elevated levels, while 22K gold is available at ₹13,660 per gram and 18K gold at ₹11,177 per gram.
Silver, meanwhile, stands at ₹235 per gram or ₹2.35 lakh per kilogram in the supplied Kolkata rate card.
The broader market is showing some short-term pressure because of a stronger US dollar and higher Treasury yields. Yet geopolitical uncertainty and changing expectations around US monetary policy continue to provide countervailing support to precious metals.
Across India, major cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai are also trading close to the ₹1.49 lakh-per-10-gram level for 24K gold, although the exact rate varies between cities and pricing sources.
For buyers, the key lesson is simple: do not judge a jewellery purchase only by the headline gold rate. Purity, weight, making charges, taxes, stone charges and the jeweller’s final invoice all matter.
Anyone planning to buy gold or silver should check the latest rate on the day of purchase and compare the complete final bill rather than only the advertised per-gram price.
