Gold prices in India saw a sharp rise on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, as both domestic and international factors pushed rates upward. The price of the yellow metal climbed significantly across all categories, marking one of the strongest single-day increases in recent weeks.
According to market updates, 24-karat gold — the purest form of gold, often called 999 gold — increased by ₹125 per gram, reaching ₹12,202 per gram. This marks a strong rally driven by global cues, festive buying, and rising investor interest.
Similarly, 22-karat gold, which is widely used for jewellery, rose by ₹115 per gram to touch ₹11,185 per gram, while 18-karat gold went up by ₹94 per gram, now priced at ₹9,152 per gram.
📈 Reasons Behind the Price Surge
Experts and market analysts say the latest price hike is due to a combination of factors:
Strong global gold prices amid geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty.
Increased festive demand as people prepare for Dussehra, Karva Chauth, and Diwali.
Higher investor interest, as gold continues to be seen as a safe-haven asset.
Stable rupee performance, which has slightly cushioned import costs.
Gold is traditionally considered a symbol of prosperity in India, and demand typically surges during the festival season. Jewellers report higher footfall and online purchases as families begin festive shopping.
