Gold Rate Today (29 March 2026): Latest IBJA Rates With Tanishq, Kalyan, Malabar, Joyalukkas Prices

Gold prices remained on investors' radar on Sunday, March 29, 2026, with domestic buyers continuing to track benchmark rates from the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA) as well as retail prices at major jewellery chains including Tanishq, Kalyan Jewellers, Malabar Gold & Diamonds and Joyalukkas. With bullion markets reacting sharply to global cues in recent sessions, gold continues to trade at elevated levels across both benchmark and retail channels.

Market experts say gold is still being influenced by a mix of global and domestic factors, including geopolitical tensions in West Asia, currency fluctuations, safe-haven demand and uncertainty around the US Federal Reserve's interest rate trajectory. In the absence of a major fresh trigger, gold prices are expected to remain volatile but broadly supported.

IBJA Gold Rates For 29 March 2026

The latest available IBJA indicative retail selling rates for gold jewellery remain the key benchmark for domestic buyers. As Sunday updates may not always be issued, the most recently available rates continue to be tracked.

• Fine Gold (999): Rs 14,730 per gram
• 22 KT Gold: Rs 13,503 per gram
• 20 KT Gold: Rs 12,275 per gram
• 18 KT Gold: Rs 11,048 per gram
• 14 KT Gold: Rs 8,593 per gram

Gold Rates At Leading Jewellery Retailers

Retail gold prices at leading jewellery brands also remain in focus for buyers comparing rates before making purchases. The latest available 22-carat jewellery rates across major metro markets such as Bengaluru, Mumbai and Chennai are as follows:

• Tanishq 22K gold rate: Rs 13,615 per gram
• Kalyan Jewellers 22K gold rate: Rs 13,575 per gram
• Malabar Gold & Diamonds 22K gold rate: Rs 13,575 per gram
• Joyalukkas 22K gold rate: Rs 13,575 per gram

These rates may vary slightly depending on city-level taxes, local demand and store-specific making charges.

Why Gold Prices Remain Volatile

Gold has remained sensitive to international developments, with investors increasingly turning to the precious metal as a hedge against uncertainty. Analysts say the following factors are continuing to influence price movement:

• Geopolitical tensions and conflict in West Asia
• Global sanctions and trade-related uncertainty
• Movement in the rupee against the US dollar
• US Federal Reserve interest rate expectations
• Safe-haven buying amid volatile market conditions

Experts believe gold may continue to remain range-bound in the short term, but with sharp intraday fluctuations likely if fresh geopolitical or macroeconomic developments emerge.

What Jewellery Buyers Should Keep In Mind

For jewellery buyers, IBJA rates serve as a benchmark, while actual store prices can differ because of retailer premiums, making charges and local taxes. This means the final billed amount may be higher than the per-gram base rate quoted by jewellers.

Consumers planning to buy gold today should compare the latest available IBJA benchmark rates with retailer prices before purchasing, especially during periods of heightened volatility in bullion markets.
