Gold Rate Today (14 March 2026): IBJA Issues New Gold Prices; Tanishq, Malabar, Joyalukkas, Kalyan Rates

Gold prices in the domestic market saw another fresh update on 14 March 2026, with the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA) publishing its latest benchmark rates for key gold purities. The latest release comes as bullion continues to stay in focus globally, with investors weighing geopolitical uncertainty, shifting US monetary policy expectations and volatility in crude oil and currency markets.

For India's jewellery and bullion trade, the IBJA benchmark remains one of the most closely watched indicators every day. These rates act as the base value for wholesale gold and help retailers across the country determine store-level pricing before adding taxes and making charges.

IBJA Gold Rates Issued For 14 March 2026

As per the morning benchmark figures released by IBJA on 14 March 2026, the prices for major gold purities are:

• Fine Gold (999): Rs 15,906 per gram
• 22 KT Gold: Rs 14,581 per gram
• 20 KT Gold: Rs 13,255 per gram
• 18 KT Gold: Rs 11,930 per gram
• 14 KT Gold: Rs 9,279 per gram

These benchmark rates are widely used by bullion traders and jewellers as the standard pricing reference for the day.

Latest 22K Gold Jewellery Prices At Major Retailers

Retail gold prices are usually slightly higher than benchmark bullion rates because jewellery brands add operational expenses, sourcing costs, design premiums and local market adjustments.

Based on the latest available retail updates, 22K gold jewellery prices at leading jewellery chains are:

• Tanishq: Rs 14,770 per gram
• Malabar Gold & Diamonds: Rs 14,730 per gram
• Joyalukkas: Rs 14,730 per gram
• Kalyan Jewellers: Rs 14,730 per gram

These prices may vary slightly between cities depending on local demand, transportation expenses and store-level revisions.

Why Gold Is Staying Supported In Global Markets

Gold has remained resilient as investors continue to track developments across international markets. Ongoing geopolitical tensions, concerns over energy supply chains and uncertainty over interest rate direction in major economies have kept bullion demand supported.

In India, domestic gold prices are also affected by the rupee-dollar exchange rate. Since global bullion is traded in US dollars, any movement in the currency pair can quickly influence how international price changes are reflected in the local market.

What Buyers Should Check Before Buying Gold Jewellery

The IBJA rates offer a useful benchmark for the day's bullion value, but the final amount paid at jewellery stores is usually higher than the quoted benchmark price.

That is because the final bill typically includes 3% GST, along with making charges and design premiums, which vary depending on the jewellery item and the retailer. Buyers are advised to compare the full price breakup carefully before making a purchase.
