Gold prices in India edged higher on February 21, 2026, with the 24-karat (24K) gold trading at ₹15,738 per gram, 22-karat (22K) at ₹14,426 per gram, and 18-karat (18K) at ₹11,804 per gram. This comes after a week of fluctuating prices, following a sharp dip post the Union Budget 2026 presentation.
Gold Market Overview
The precious metal market has seen volatile movements in the last month. Gold reached all-time highs in January, rising nearly 20% amid global economic uncertainties. However, after Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman unveiled the Union Budget on February 1, 2026, gold prices corrected sharply, dropping over 12% in just 10 days.
The trend has slightly reversed on February 21, as investors cautiously return to gold, seeking a hedge against inflation and currency fluctuations. The 24K gold remains the most preferred choice for investment due to its high purity, while 22K and 18K gold continue to dominate jewellery manufacturing.
