Retail Cost of Gold in India
The retail price of gold in India, reflecting the final cost per unit weight for consumers, is influenced by various factors beyond the metal’s intrinsic value.
Gold holds immense cultural importance in India, serving as a major investment and playing a crucial role in traditional weddings and festivals.
Amid ongoing market fluctuations, investors and traders closely monitor these dynamics. Stay tuned for further updates on this evolving story.
Custom Duty on Gold
The government recently slashed customs duties on various products, including gold and silver.
The basic customs duty (BCD) on coins of precious metals, gold/silver findings, and gold and silver bars was reduced to 6 per cent from 15 per cent. It was cut to 5.35 per cent from 14.35 per cent for gold and silver dore.
India’s reliance on imported gold largely influences domestic prices, which closely mirror global trends. Additionally, the cultural importance of gold in India, particularly during festivals and weddings, can impact demand levels.
