Gold Rate Today (9 April 2026): IBJA, Tanishq, Kalyan, Malabar, Joyalukkas Gold Prices After US-Iran Ceasefire

Gold prices on April 9, 2026 remain in focus for jewellery buyers and bullion watchers as the domestic market continues to hold on to the sharp gains recorded earlier this week. Even after the announcement of a two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran, gold has stayed elevated, showing that safe-haven sentiment and broader global cues are still keeping the yellow metal firm.

Against this backdrop, both the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA) benchmark rates and branded retail quotes from major jewellers remain the key reference points for buyers planning purchases today.

IBJA gold rates remain the first benchmark for buyers

Before comparing showroom-level jewellery prices, many buyers first turn to the India Bullion and Jewellers Association's indicative retail selling rates to understand the broader direction of the domestic bullion market. These benchmark prices continue to be among the most closely watched daily references because they cover the major gold purity categories that matter most to jewellers, investors and consumers across India.

The latest available benchmark data keeps gold firmly in the spotlight, as the domestic market continues to trade at elevated levels following the strong rise seen in the previous session.

Latest IBJA indicative gold rates

• 24K (999 fine gold): Rs 15,179 per gram
• 22K gold: Rs 13,914 per gram
• 20K gold: Rs 12,649 per gram
• 18K gold: Rs 11,384 per gram
• 14K gold: Rs 8,854 per gram

The latest available IBJA benchmark shows gold prices still holding at significantly higher levels than earlier this week. Compared with the previous benchmark session, 24K, 22K, 20K, 18K and 14K categories all remained sharply higher, indicating that the domestic bullion market is still reflecting the recent surge rather than a full cooling-off move. For buyers interested in coins, bars or higher-purity purchases, the 24K benchmark remains the most relevant reference, while 22K continues to be the most closely tracked category for jewellery buying.

Branded jewellers keep 22K gold prices in a narrow range

Once the benchmark is checked, attention shifts to actual retail jewellery prices at branded stores. On April 9, leading jewellery chains continue to quote 22K gold at closely aligned levels, giving buyers a narrow range for comparison across top retailers.

• Tanishq 22K gold rate today: Rs 14,140 per gram
• Kalyan Jewellers 22K gold rate today: Rs 14,100 per gram
• Malabar Gold & Diamonds 22K gold rate today: Rs 14,100 per gram
• Joyalukkas 22K gold rate today: Rs 14,100 per gram

Among the four major jewellers, Tanishq continues to quote the highest 22K gold jewellery rate, while Kalyan Jewellers, Malabar Gold & Diamonds and Joyalukkas remain aligned at the same level. For consumers comparing stores, even this modest gap can matter when buying heavier ornaments, bridal sets or multiple pieces in one transaction.

Why 22K remains the most watched gold category

While 24K gold is more closely linked to coins, bars and investment-focused purchases, 22K gold remains the most watched category for everyday consumers because it is the preferred purity for most traditional jewellery buying in India. That makes retailer-specific 22K prices especially important for customers shopping for bangles, necklaces, chains, earrings, pendants or wedding jewellery.

Because most major jewellery chains revise their rates in line with broader market movement, 22K prices are often the most practical guide for customers trying to estimate what they may actually pay before making charges and taxes are added to the final bill.

Gold prices stay elevated as the market digests recent gains

As the domestic market moves further into April, gold continues to trade at levels that keep it firmly in focus for both jewellery buyers and those considering bullion as a store of value. The latest IBJA benchmark rates show that purity-wise prices are still elevated, while branded retail jewellery quotes remain high enough to keep buyers cautious.

For consumers shopping today, the most practical approach is to begin with the IBJA benchmark, compare 22K prices at leading jewellers, and then assess additional charges before buying. With gold still trading near recent highs and volatility not fully fading, a careful comparison can still make a meaningful difference to the final spend.
