Gold prices in India on January 28, 2026, remain near record highs, with 24K rates edging a bit higher versus January 27 while overall trend stays bullish but choppy.
Gold prices in India on January 28, 2026, are hovering close to all-time highs, with 24K gold quoted around the ₹1.60–₹1.63 lakh per 10 grams mark in many markets, supported by firm international prices and resilient domestic buying interest.
Prices are slightly higher to broadly steady compared to the previous day, as underlying safe-haven demand, ongoing central bank purchases, and cautious risk sentiment offset intermittent profit-booking and minor pullbacks during intraday trade.
Major trends include consolidation at elevated levels, intraday volatility driven by swings in the US dollar and global bond yields, and a still-positive medium-term outlook, although any sharp rebound in the dollar index or jump in real yields could trigger short-lived corrections.
Gold prices in India on January 28, 2026
As of today, all-India indicative benchmarks show 24K gold priced at around ₹16,190–₹16,220 per 1 gram, while 22K gold is near ₹14,840–₹14,860 per 1 gram and 18K gold around ₹12,140 per 1 gram, reflecting a marginal uptick versus the previous session.

Why Gold Prices Increased in Recent Days
Gold prices have primarily increased due to a combination of firm global bullion benchmarks, persistent central bank buying, and a softer bias in real interest rates that keeps the opportunity cost of holding gold contained.
Gold prices in India have climbed further over the past few sessions, with only shallow intraday dips, as global spot and futures prices stay elevated amid geopolitical tensions, recession worries, and portfolio hedging demand that keeps safe-haven appetite intact.
Central banks across several advanced and emerging economies continue to accumulate gold as a strategic reserve asset, reinforcing the structural uptrend and cushioning downside corrections, while expectations of eventual rate cuts from major central banks help cap real yields and support bullion.
On the currency side, bouts of rupee weakness versus the US dollar have magnified imported gold costs in India, pushing local prices higher than global moves alone would suggest, even as urban jewellery, wedding-related demand, and investment buying remain reasonably steady at higher levels.
Short-term dips during the recent rally have largely coincided with phases of dollar strength, firmer equity markets, and profit-taking after sharp upmoves, but concerns around inflation, global growth, and market volatility continue to underpin sentiment, keeping 24K prices anchored close to historic highs in the ₹1.60–₹1.62 lakh per 10 grams band.
