Gold Rate Today (9 March 2026): IBJA Benchmark Rates, Tanishq, Malabar, Joyalukkas, Kalyan Jewellery Prices

Gold prices in India were updated on 9 March 2026, with the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA) issuing the latest indicative benchmark rates for various gold purities. These rates serve as a key reference for bullion traders and jewellery retailers across the country.

The benchmark figures released by IBJA track movements in the domestic bullion market and help jewellers determine base pricing. However, these prices do not include 3% GST and making charges, which are added when consumers purchase gold jewellery from retail stores.

IBJA Gold Prices On 9 March 2026

According to the indicative retail selling rates released by IBJA on 9 March 2026 (AM), benchmark prices for different gold purities are as follows:

• Fine Gold (999): Rs 16,228 per gram
• 22 KT Gold: Rs 14,876 per gram
• 20 KT Gold: Rs 13,523 per gram
• 18 KT Gold: Rs 12,171 per gram
• 14 KT Gold: Rs 9,466 per gram

These benchmark prices are widely used across India's bullion trade to align retail pricing with prevailing market trends.

Retail Gold Prices At Major Jewellery Brands

Retail jewellery prices often vary between brands because of logistics costs, local demand patterns and brand-specific pricing strategies. Based on the latest updates from major jewellery retailers, the approximate 22K gold jewellery rates are:

• Tanishq: Rs 15,040 per gram
• Malabar Gold & Diamonds: Rs 15,000 per gram
• Joyalukkas: Rs 15,000 per gram
• Kalyan Jewellers: Rs 15,000 per gram

These retail prices may vary slightly across cities due to state-level taxes, transportation costs and store-level adjustments.

Factors Influencing Gold Prices

Gold prices in India generally move in line with international bullion rates and currency fluctuations, particularly the movement of the Indian rupee against the US dollar. Domestic demand from jewellery buyers and investors also plays a role in determining short-term price trends.

What Buyers Should Keep In Mind

While IBJA benchmark rates provide an important reference point, the final price paid by consumers at jewellery stores is usually higher. The final bill typically includes GST, making charges and design premiums, which depend on the jewellery piece and retailer.

As a result, buyers are advised to check the final billing details carefully before making a purchase.
