Gold Rate Today, August 11: Check 18, 22 and 24 carat gold prices in Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and other cities

Today's gold prices in India saw a slight increase, with 24 carat gold trading at Rs 15,513 per gram, 22 carat gold at Rs 14,220 per gram, and 18 carat gold at Rs 11,635 per gram, according to Good Returns. This represents a rise of Rs 316 from the previous day's prices on August 10, 2026. Despite minor dips in gold and silver prices due to global market anxieties, tensions in the Middle East continue to impact daily fluctuations.

In major cities, the gold rates varied slightly. Chennai offered 24K gold at Rs 15,546 per gram, 22K at Rs 14,250 per gram, and 18K at Rs 12,000 per gram. Mumbai mirrored these rates closely with 24K at Rs 15,513, 22K at Rs 14,220, and 18K at Rs 11,635 per gram. Delhi saw 24K at Rs 15,528, 22K at Rs 14,235, and 18K at Rs 11,650 per gram. Kolkata and other major cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Vadodara, and Ahmedabad also saw similar pricing patterns for the three gold purities.

The underlying cause for these fluctuations is the heightened international tensions in the Middle East, particularly the ongoing crisis involving Iran and the United States. This conflict has led to a scramble for safe investments, with gold emerging as a favored choice among investors. However, the prices are also influenced by factors such as import taxes and currency shifts, making the local markets a reflection of global economic uncertainties.
