Gold rates for September 15, 2026, are available in major Indian cities, including Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Vadodara, and Ahmedabad.
The price of 24 carat gold in India is currently Rs 15,317 per gram, down Rs 92 from the previous day. Similarly, 22 carat gold is priced at Rs 14,040 per gram, and 18 carat gold is at Rs 11,488 per gram, both reflecting a decrease from September 14.
Mr. Kaushlendra Sinha, CEO of IAGES, stated that Ganesh Chaturthi marks the beginning of the festival season in India, which typically boosts gold buying sentiment. Despite prices being 45-50% higher than last year, demand for gold is expected to remain strong due to firm prices and the positive outlook.
Consumers may adopt a more measured approach to spending, preferring gold coins, lightweight jewelry, and smaller-ticket purchases as they navigate the current price levels.
In West Asia, tensions have escalated with Iran rejecting claims of a mine explosion in the Strait of Hormuz, instead blaming Iran for attacking a tanker with a missile last month and a drone last weekend. The U.S. has also accused Iran of attempting negotiations. An armistice initially agreed upon between the U.S. and Iran in mid-June 2026 has collapsed, leading to renewed hostilities and the breakdown of diplomatic communication. The conflict has triggered a rush to gold as investors seek a safe haven amid market turbulence.
