Calculation Methodology

India Market Price (headline)

Real MCX exchange prices for the nearest active futures contract, normalized to the standard India unit (₹/g for bullion, ₹/kg for base metals, ₹/barrel and ₹/MMBtu for energy).

Import Parity (reference)

Landed = (Intl. Price ÷ Unit) × USD/INR × (1 + Duty%)

The theoretical cost to import at the international price + customs duty — shown as a secondary reference, not the market price.

Gold & Silver purity

Purity variants derived from the market price: 22K = 24K × 22/24, 18K = 24K × 18/24, 925 silver = 999 × 0.925. Import duty: 6% (5% BCD + 1% AIDC).

International (USD)

COMEX/NYMEX benchmark prices (troy oz for metals, barrel for crude, MMBtu for gas). Shown as the secondary global reference alongside the India market price.

India market prices are sourced from live MCX exchange data. International prices are from COMEX/NYMEX benchmarks. Import-parity and purity figures are computed for reference. Prices may be delayed; not intended for trading decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the gold price today in India per gram?
Today's 24K gold price in India is approximately ₹14,142.20 per gram. The 22K (916) gold price is about ₹12,963.68 per gram, and 18K gold is around ₹10,606.65 per gram. These are live MCX market prices for the nearest active gold futures contract.
What is the 22K (916) gold price per 10 grams today?
The 22 karat (916 hallmark) gold price for 10 grams today is approximately ₹1,29,637. 916 gold means 91.6% pure gold, the standard purity used in Indian gold jewellery. It is derived from the 24K MCX market price adjusted for the 22/24 purity ratio.
What is the 925 sterling silver price in India today?
925 sterling silver (92.5% pure) is priced at approximately ₹205.08 per gram in India today. Pure 999 fine silver is around ₹221.71 per gram, based on the live MCX silver market price.
How is the India commodity price determined?
The headline India price is the live market price from MCX (Multi Commodity Exchange) for the nearest active futures contract — the actual price commodities trade at in India. We also show an "import parity" reference — the theoretical landed cost calculated as (International Price ÷ Unit) × USD/INR × (1 + Import Duty) — to compare the domestic market price against the imported cost basis. Gold/silver import duty is currently 6% (5% BCD + 1% AIDC).
What is the current crude oil price in India per barrel?
The current crude oil price on MCX in India is approximately ₹7,672 per barrel. The international WTI benchmark is around $79.54 per barrel, and Brent crude is about $85.16 per barrel. India imports over 85% of its crude oil, so international oil prices strongly influence domestic fuel pricing.
What is the difference between 24K, 22K, and 18K gold?
24 karat (24K) gold is 99.9% pure gold — the highest purity available. 22 karat (22K or 916 hallmark) gold is 91.6% pure, mixed with 8.4% other metals for durability — this is the standard for Indian gold jewellery. 18 karat (18K or 750 hallmark) gold is 75% pure, commonly used in designer and western-style jewellery. Higher karat means higher purity and price per gram, but lower durability.
What import duty does India charge on gold and silver?
India currently charges 6% total import duty on gold and silver: 5% Basic Customs Duty (BCD) plus 1% Agriculture Infrastructure Development Cess (AIDC). Additionally, 3% GST is charged on the value including duty. The duty was reduced from 15% to 6% in the Union Budget 2024 to curb smuggling and make gold more affordable.

About Commodity Prices in India

Tapetide's commodity price tracker provides live international commodity prices converted to Indian rupees with import duty calculations. Whether you're checking the gold price today per gram, the 22K (916) gold rate per 10 grams, or the 925 sterling silver price, our calculator applies the current USD/INR exchange rate and applicable customs duties to give you the India import landed price.

We track precious metals (Gold 24K/22K/18K, Silver 999/925, Platinum), energy commodities (WTI Crude Oil, Brent Crude, Natural Gas), and industrial metals (Copper, Aluminium, Zinc) from COMEX, NYMEX, and LME exchanges. Prices are updated every 5 minutes with historical daily data going back to 2000.

India's current import duty on gold and silver is 6% (5% BCD + 1% AIDC), reduced from 15% in the Union Budget 2024. Copper attracts 2.5% BCD, aluminium 7.5%, and crude oil approximately 5%. These duty rates are factored into our landed price calculations. Note that actual retail prices may differ due to GST (3% on gold/silver), making charges, and local market premiums.
