Gold and Silver Price Today, September 30 2026: Gold prices moved higher in India on Wednesday. The market rate for 24-karat gold rose to ₹14,957 per gram. 22-Karat gold was priced at ₹13,710 per gram. 18-Karat gold was priced at ₹11,218 per gram. Silver was quoted at ₹240 per gram or ₹2,40,000 per kilogram.
For buyers in Kolkata these new rates mean that 10 grams of 24K gold costs about ₹1,49,570. 10 Grams of 22K gold costs about ₹1,37,100, before taxes and other jeweller charges.
GoodReturns September 30 data shows that 24K gold increased by ₹77 per gram. 22K gold increased by ₹70 per gram. 18K gold increased by ₹58 per gram from the rates. The new benchmark shows an one‑day recovery after a sharp fall earlier this week.
Kolkata Gold and Silver Price Today: 24K, 22K and 18K Prices
Kolkata remains one of India’s major gold markets, with demand coming from jewellery buyers, households, investors and businesses. On September 30, the benchmark gold prices are:
| Gold Purity | Price Per Gram | Price Per 10 Grams | Daily Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24K Gold | ₹14,957 | ₹1,49,570 | +₹77/g |
| 22K Gold | ₹13,710 | ₹1,37,100 | +₹70/g |
| 18K Gold | ₹11,218 | ₹1,12,180 | +₹58/g |
The 24K rate represents gold of approximately 99.9% purity, while 22K gold has around 91.6% purity and 18K gold around 75% purity. GoodReturns’ national benchmark shows the same 24K, 22K and 18K rates for Kolkata.
For consumers, however, the displayed rate should not be confused with the final jewellery bill. The final amount can include GST, making charges, wastage charges, hallmarking-related costs and jeweller premiums.
Gold Price Movement: What Changed From September 29?
The latest data shows a sharp rebound from the previous day’s decline.
On September 29, the benchmark 24K gold price was ₹14,880 per gram, compared with ₹14,957 on September 30. That represents a rise of ₹77 per gram. The 22K rate increased from ₹13,640 to ₹13,710, while 18K gold rose from ₹11,160 to ₹11,218.
The broader trend has nevertheless been volatile. On September 28, the benchmark 24K rate was ₹15,017 per gram, meaning the September 30 rate remains below that level. The 24K price had also reached ₹15,420 per gram on September 23 before declining during the following sessions.
This indicates that the precious-metals market is experiencing considerable short-term fluctuations rather than moving in a straight line.
State-Wise and City-Wise Gold Rates Today
Gold prices can vary from one market to another because of differences in local taxes, transportation costs, premiums, demand conditions and jeweller pricing.
The following table uses the September 30 benchmark city rates published by GoodReturns. These are indicative rates and should not be treated as guaranteed shop-counter prices.
| State / Region | Major City | 24K Gold/g | 22K Gold/g | 18K Gold/g |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| West Bengal | Kolkata | ₹14,957 | ₹13,710 | ₹11,218 |
| Tamil Nadu | Chennai | ₹14,957 | ₹13,710 | ₹11,470 |
| Maharashtra | Mumbai | ₹14,957 | ₹13,710 | ₹11,218 |
| Delhi | New Delhi | ₹14,894 | ₹13,725 | ₹11,233 |
| Karnataka | Bengaluru | ₹14,957 | ₹13,710 | ₹11,218 |
| Telangana | Hyderabad | ₹14,957 | ₹13,710 | ₹11,218 |
| Kerala | Major Kerala market | ₹14,957 | ₹13,710 | ₹11,218 |
| Maharashtra | Pune | ₹14,957 | ₹13,710 | ₹11,218 |
| Gujarat | Ahmedabad | ₹14,962 | ₹13,715 | ₹11,223 |
| Gujarat | Vadodara | ₹14,962 | ₹13,715 | ₹11,223 |
GoodReturns’ September 30 city table shows 24K, 22K and 18K rates across these major markets, with Delhi and Gujarat showing small differences from the broader benchmark.
Kolkata vs Other Major Cities
Kolkata’s 24K gold rate of ₹14,957 per gram is broadly in line with Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kerala and Pune in the GoodReturns benchmark.
Delhi is slightly lower for 24K gold at ₹14,894 per gram but marginally higher than Kolkata for 22K and 18K gold. Ahmedabad and Vadodara are marginally higher than Kolkata for all three purities in the same dataset.
These differences are relatively small compared with the overall value of gold, but they can become meaningful when consumers purchase larger quantities.
For example, a difference of ₹50 per gram becomes ₹500 on a 10-gram purchase and ₹5,000 on a 100-gram purchase. Buyers should therefore compare the final invoice rather than relying only on the headline bullion rate.
Silver Rate Today in Kolkata
Silver prices are also attracting attention after considerable volatility during September.
The benchmark silver rate provided for Kolkata on September 30 is:
- Silver: ₹240 per gram
- Silver: ₹2,400 per 10 grams
- Silver: ₹2,40,000 per kilogram
GoodReturns’ September 30 benchmark also lists silver at ₹2,40,000 per kg, while its Bangalore page shows the same rate.
However, another September 30 city-wise bullion report from Indian Express quoted a different benchmark of ₹2,25,300 per kg nationally, with city-specific rates ranging from ₹2,24,510 in Delhi to ₹2,25,550 in Chennai. Kolkata was quoted at ₹2,24,600 per kg in that dataset.
This is an important difference for readers. It demonstrates that silver prices can vary depending on the source, market timing, purity specification and whether the quoted price represents a retail, bullion or jeweller benchmark.
State-Wise Silver Price Snapshot
Using the GoodReturns benchmark, silver was quoted at ₹2,40,000 per kg in several major Indian markets on September 30. A separate bullion report, however, showed city-specific prices around ₹2.25 lakh per kg.
| State / Region | Major City | Silver Benchmark |
|---|---|---|
| West Bengal | Kolkata | ₹2,40,000/kg |
| Maharashtra | Mumbai | ₹2,40,000/kg |
| Delhi | New Delhi | ₹2,40,000/kg |
| Tamil Nadu | Chennai | ₹2,40,000/kg |
| Karnataka | Bengaluru | ₹2,40,000/kg |
| Telangana | Hyderabad | ₹2,40,000/kg |
| Kerala | Kochi | ₹2,40,000/kg |
| Maharashtra | Pune | ₹2,40,000/kg |
| Gujarat | Ahmedabad | ₹2,40,000/kg |
| Gujarat | Vadodara | ₹2,40,000/kg |
The rates in this table should be considered indicative benchmarks rather than guaranteed transaction prices.
Why Silver Prices Are Important for Buyers
Silver plays a role in the Indian economy. It is bought for jewellery, religious and cultural events, household needs and as an investment. At the time it is widely used in industries.
Unlike gold silver has industrial demand. It is used in electronics, solar panels and other manufacturing processes. Because of this silver prices do not reflect investor mood but also changes in industrial demand and overall economic activity.
This volatility was recently shown in market movements. The September 30 edition of the Indian Express reported that MCX silver futures closed at around ₹2,25,450 per kg on September 29. Meanwhile international silver prices were $61.45 per ounce, during the September 30 trading session.
What Does ₹1 Lakh Buy in Gold Today?
At the Kolkata benchmark price of ₹14,957 per gram for 24K gold ₹1 lakh would theoretically buy 6.69 grams of gold before taxes and other charges. This is the value of the metal itself not including any making charges or taxes.
For 22K gold, priced at ₹13,710 per gram ₹1 lakh could buy 7.29 grams of gold before additional fees. The lower purity means a higher quantity for the same amount of money compared to 24K gold.
When it comes to 18K gold, which is priced at ₹11,218 per gram ₹1 lakh can get you 8.91 grams of the metal before any extra costs are added. The lower gold content allows for weight but still only reflects the raw metal value.
These numbers show the amount of gold you can buy with ₹1 lakh based on current market rates.. Buyers should keep in mind that actual jewellery purchases include making charges, design fees and taxes like GST. These extras can push the cost well above the metal value. So while ₹1 lakh may get you 8.91 grams of 18K gold in theory the finished piece might come with a higher price tag due, to all the added expenses.
Gold Jewellery Price Is Higher Than the Headline Gold Rate
One of the most common mistakes made by gold buyers is comparing the displayed per-gram bullion rate with the final jewellery price.
For example, GoodReturns’ own calculator illustrates how GST and making charges can increase the final amount. Its September 30 national benchmark shows a 22K base value of ₹1,37,100 for 10 grams, followed by making charges and 3% GST, producing a higher final amount.
Therefore, buyers should ask the jeweller for a complete breakup containing:
- Gold rate per gram
- Net gold weight
- Purity or karat
- Making charges
- Wastage charges, if applicable
- GST
- Hallmark-related details
- Final payable amount
This makes it easier to compare two jewellery shops offering apparently different prices.
Gold and Silver Outlook: What Buyers Should Watch
The market for metals is currently reacting to a number of competing factors.
On one side gold is still getting support because of its standing role as a safe place to keep value during times of uncertainty. On the side higher US Treasury yields and a stronger dollar can make gold less attractive because the metal does not earn interest income.
Expectations about interest rates are very important. When people think that rates will stay high for a time gold can face pressure. When people expect rates to go down that can help support the demand for the metal.
The market data from September 30 shows that these factors are already causing changes in the price each day. Gold went up from the days price but it is still below the level it had on September 23.
Silver has another factor to deal with because of its use in industry. Changes in manufacturing, technology, electronics and renewable energy can affect silver in a way that’s separate, from gold.

Important Note for Gold Buyers and Silver Buyers
There is no universal retail price that every jeweller in India has to show at every moment. Prices can be different depending on the time of the update the bullion benchmark used, market conditions, dealer premium, purity, taxes and jewellery-making charges.
This is especially important today because different published sources are showing different silver benchmarks and some differences in city-level gold prices. For example the September 30 Indian Express city-wise report showed Kolkata 24K gold at ₹1,48,400 per 10 grams and silver at ₹2,24,600 per kg while GoodReturns shows Kolkata at ₹1,49,570 per 10 grams for 24K gold and ₹2,40,000 per kg for silver.
The difference does not always mean that one source is wrong; bullion prices can change during the day. Sources might use different pricing benchmarks and update times.
For consumers who want to buy gold or silver today the best way is to check the quoted rate, from the jeweller check purity and hallmark details and get a full invoice showing the metal value making charges and taxes.
