Terms Worth Knowing Before You Buy Gold
- What is a troy ounce?
- The troy ounce is the standard global unit used in gold trading on every exchange worldwide, and it equals exactly 31.1035 grams.
- What is the difference between buy and sell price?
- The sell price is what you pay when acquiring gold from a shop, while the buy price is what you receive when selling your jewelry back to the same shop, with the gap representing the dealer's margin.
- What does the karat number mean?
- The karat number indicates the proportion of pure gold in a piece out of 24 parts, so 21k means 21 parts pure gold out of 24, or 87.5% purity.
Market Analysis
Few places in the world share India's deep cultural bond with gold, where the metal goes far beyond ornament to become woven into religious and social ritual, from wedding ceremonies through major festivals like Diwali and Akshaya Tritiya.
The Indian government levies import duties and GST on incoming gold, which noticeably lifts the local price above the raw global figure, unlike countries that run more relaxed import policies.
India's mandatory BIS Hallmarking system is known for its relative rigor, requiring dealers to stamp gold pieces with a mark certifying actual purity, giving consumers an added layer of protection against misrepresentation.
Prices can swing noticeably between major Indian cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Chennai, driven by differences in local taxes and transport costs, along with varying margins set by regional jewelers' associations.
