Today (Thursday, August 20, 2026), gold prices rose in major cities across India, with jewellers quoting higher rates for 22k gold jewellery compared to Wednesday's prices. This price increase was seen across prominent jewellery brands like Tanishq, Malabar Gold & Diamonds, Joyalukkas, and Kalyan Jewellers in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Trivandrum.
Prithviraj Kothari, managing director at RiddiSiddhi Bullions Ltd., president of the Indian Bullion Journal Association (IBJA), mentioned that gold and silver prices jumped over 3% to a two-and-a-half-month high following the US Treasury's surprise liquidity support announcement.

The Federal Reserve's (Fed) minutes indicated deepening inflation concerns, with several policymakers open to a rate hike if inflation doesn't ease towards 2%.
The current price of 22k gold jewellery at Tanishq is Rs 14,645 per gram across all the mentioned cities, up from Rs 14,250 per gram on Wednesday. Malabar Gold & Diamonds, Joyalukkas, and Kalyan Jewellers also quoted the same price of Rs 14,600 per gram for 22k gold jewellery in New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Trivandrum on August 20, 2026, compared to Rs 14,205 per gram on Wednesday.
