Gold shines on Akshaya Tritiya! Excellent return of 60% in last 1 year, know from where the price reached

Lucknow: Akshaya Tritiya is considered the most auspicious occasion to buy gold in Indian culture. This time it has proved to be not just a tradition but also an opportunity for super profits for investors. In the last one year, gold prices have seen a tremendous rise, which has made many investors rich.

Miracle of gold in one year

Last year, around Akshaya Tritiya (30 April 2025), the price of 24 carat gold was around ₹ 99,500 per 10 grams. Now before Akshaya Tritiya of 2026, it has increased to ₹ 1,57,800 per 10 grams.
That means, in just 12 months, gold jumped by about ₹ 58,300 and gave investors a bumper profit of about 60%.

More than five times increase in 12 years

Gold has become even more attractive for long term investors. At the time of Akshaya Tritiya of 2014, the price of 24 carat gold was around ₹ 30,000 per 10 grams. Now it has crossed ₹ 1.5 lakh.
This means that in 12 years, gold has increased investors’ money more than five times.

There was a decline in the middle, then recovery

The path has not always been straight in this one year journey. Around March 2026, the price of gold had fallen to ₹ 1.35 lakh per 10 grams. But after this the market regained momentum and prices reached new record levels.

Why did prices increase?

According to experts, there are many big reasons for this gold rally:
– Increasing geopolitical tension at the global level
– US dollar uncertainty
– Heavy purchases of gold by central banks around the world

These factors made gold the safest safe haven investment, causing its demand and prices to continuously climb.

What next? expectations positive

Experts believe that if global uncertainty and inflation persist, the rise in gold may continue. In the international market, gold can go up to $ 5300-5500 per ounce. The price in India is expected to reach ₹ 1,70,000 to ₹ 1,85,000 per 10 grams in the next one year.

advice for investors

Gold once again proved that it is one of the most reliable investment options in uncertain times. Still, experts advise not to invest the entire capital in one place. Create a balanced portfolio and invest by mixing gold, shares, mutual funds etc. so that the risk of fluctuations is less.

Buying gold on Akshaya Tritiya is not only considered auspicious, but if we look at the past records, it has often given good returns. But before making any investment, understand your risk appetite and market situation.
