If you want gold as an investment, switch to Sovereign Gold Bonds or Gold ETFs — zero making charges, no storage risk, same price exposure.

Here's what happened: 24k gold rates in India crossed ₹98,000 per 10 grams in June 2026, driven by global uncertainty and a weaker rupee.. Major jewellers like Tanishq, Malabar Gold, and Joyalukkas have updated their 22k rates upward across Delhi, Mumbai, and other metros.. Silver prices have also risen alongside gold, as per IBJA benchmark rates, making the broader precious metals market more expensive for buyers..
What you should do: Postpone non-urgent jewellery purchases — buying at peak prices for weddings months away locks in losses if prices correct.. Compare making charges across jewellers before buying: Tanishq, Malabar, and Joyalukkas can differ by ₹500–₹1,500 per 10g on the same gold purity.. If you want gold as an investment, switch to Sovereign Gold Bonds or Gold ETFs — zero making charges, no storage risk, same price exposure..
Sovereign Gold Bonds also pay 2.5% annual interest on top of gold price gains — physical gold pays you nothing while sitting in your locker.
