Why Gold Rates Differ by City
Understanding the factors that influence gold prices across Indian cities
Local Demand & Supply
Cities like Chennai and Kerala have higher cultural demand for gold, especially during wedding seasons, which can push prices slightly higher compared to other cities.
Transportation Costs
The cost of transporting gold from refineries and ports adds to the final price. Cities closer to entry points like Mumbai may have slightly lower base rates.
State Taxes & Duties
While GST on gold is uniform at 3% nationwide, additional state-level charges, octroi, and local body taxes can create price variations between cities.
