How to read these numbers
Each year's figure is the 24K metal rate on (or just before) Dhanteras that year, so the trend reflects the real market on the day families were actually buying. Jewellery cost more on the day — add making charges and GST — but this metal line is the honest benchmark to judge any jeweller's quote against.
Indicative India bullion prices; festival-day figures use the latest available rate on or before each festival date.
