Today’s price of gold and silver (16 December 2025): There was a slight decline in gold prices on Tuesday. After the sharp rally of the last few days, investors started booking profits, which had a direct impact on the Indian market. Especially in big cities, gold prices have come down, while silver is still showing strength at high levels.
In Mumbai today, 24 carat pure gold reached Rs 1,33,860 per 10 grams, while 22 carat gold is trading around Rs 1,22,700 per 10 grams. Note – These prices are without GST and making charges. If you buy jewellery, the actual bill will be much higher than this!

Wedding season is going on, still why are the customers missing?
It is the peak season of weddings, but the shine of gold seems to be fading. After touching record high, people are postponing purchases. Jewelers are saying that the showroom is not as crowded as before. There was a lull in the market as soon as the price of 10 grams crossed Rs 1.32 lakh. Dealers say – “The prices are so high that people are opening their pockets without thinking.”
Why does the price of gold keep going up and down?
The rate of gold in India is determined by many things – the price of gold in the foreign market, how strong or weak the rupee is against the dollar, import duty, GST and global economic conditions. All these together create new prices every day.
