Gold Price Today in India (October 6, 2025): Gold prices in India continued their downward trend for the third consecutive day, giving buyers some relief ahead of the festive season. On the occasion of Sharad Purnima, both 22-carat and 24-carat gold saw marginal declines in major cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Ahmedabad.
According to market data, 24-carat gold in Delhi slipped to ₹1,19,540 per 10 grams, while 22-carat gold stood at ₹1,09,590 per 10 grams. This marks a consistent fall in prices, although gold remains higher compared to last week’s average, when the precious metal had gained nearly ₹3,920 for 24-carat and ₹3,600 for 22-carat categories.
Gold rates are influenced by both domestic factors — such as local demand and import duties — and global trends, including the movement of the U.S. dollar, inflation data, and geopolitical uncertainties.
Here’s a city-wise snapshot of gold prices as of October 6, 2025:
| City | 22-Carat Gold (₹/10g) | 24-Carat Gold (₹/10g) |
|---|---|---|
| Delhi | 1,09,590 | 1,19,540 |
| Mumbai | 1,09,440 | 1,19,390 |
| Chennai | 1,09,440 | 1,19,390 |
| Kolkata | 1,09,440 | 1,19,390 |
| Jaipur | 1,09,590 | 1,19,540 |
| Lucknow | 1,09,590 | 1,19,540 |
| Chandigarh | 1,09,590 | 1,19,540 |
| Ahmedabad | 1,09,490 | 1,19,440 |
| Bhopal | 1,09,490 | 1,19,440 |
| Hyderabad | 1,09,440 | 1,19,390 |
The recent dip in gold prices can be attributed to a strong U.S. dollar and a slight easing in global demand after several weeks of rally. Market analysts believe that as investors shift focus to riskier assets amid expectations of stable interest rates, gold’s safe-haven demand has softened.
However, experts predict that this could be a short-term correction, and prices may rebound as festive buying and wedding season demand increase later this month.
According to commodity experts, “Gold’s long-term outlook remains positive. Global uncertainties, inflation concerns, and central bank buying continue to support gold prices. Buyers can consider this dip as an opportunity for investment.”
Silver, often considered the "poor man’s gold," has also witnessed a drop in prices. On October 6, silver fell to ₹1,54,900 per kilogram, marking a slight correction after its stellar performance in September.
Last month, silver prices surged by 19.4%, outperforming gold, which rose about 13% during the same period. Experts say silver’s strength is backed not just by investment demand but also by its industrial utility, with nearly 60–70% of total demand coming from industrial consumption — especially in solar panels, electronics, and electric vehicles.
Traditionally, Sharad Purnima is considered an auspicious time to buy gold and silver in India. Jewelers expect a mild pickup in physical gold demand despite the recent price correction, as consumers often see this festival as a good time to invest in precious metals.
With Diwali and Dhanteras just weeks away, traders are optimistic that sales will improve, especially if prices remain stable.
Short-term trend: Slight weakness expected as global cues remain mixed.
Medium to long-term: Bullish sentiment likely to return ahead of the festive season.
Investment tip: Experts suggest using the current dip to accumulate gold gradually, especially for long-term wealth creation.
