Gold Above ₹96K/10g: Is Your Investment Keeping Up?
Gold prices have surged sharply in 2026, crossing ₹96,000 per 10 grams for 24k. If you own gold jewellery, coins, or sovereign gold bonds, your holdings are worth significantly more — but buying now means paying a premium.
10g of gold today costs more than 3 months of a ₹30,000 salary combined.
Your 10g of 24k gold is worth this much today — are you tracking it?
Key Takeaways
Track gold prices daily via the IBJA website (ibja.co) before buying at any jeweller — retail prices include 3% GST plus making charges on top of the base rate.
If you hold Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs), check your redemption schedule — bonds maturing now will pay out at current high prices, which could mean significant gains.
Avoid making large gold jewellery purchases purely as investment at current peaks — consider digital gold or SGBs instead, which have zero making charges and lower entry cost.
