Gold Rate Today (8 March 2026): IBJA Issues Fresh Gold Rates; Tanishq, Malabar, Kalyan, Joyalukkas Prices

Gold prices in India were updated on 8 March 2026, with the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA) releasing the latest indicative benchmark rates for different gold purities. These prices act as a reference point for bullion traders and jewellery retailers across the country.

The IBJA rates reflect movements in the domestic bullion market and are widely used by jewellers to determine the base value of gold. However, these benchmark prices do not include 3% GST and making charges, which are added to the final price when consumers purchase jewellery.

IBJA Gold Prices On 8 March 2026

According to the indicative retail selling rates issued by IBJA on 8 March 2026 (AM), the benchmark gold prices across various purities are:

• Fine Gold (999): Rs 16,227 per gram
• 22 KT Gold: Rs 14,875 per gram
• 20 KT Gold: Rs 13,523 per gram
• 18 KT Gold: Rs 12,170 per gram
• 14 KT Gold: Rs 9,466 per gram

These rates serve as a base benchmark in India's bullion trade and are often used by jewellers to align their pricing with market trends.

Retail Gold Prices At Major Jewellery Brands

Retail gold jewellery prices vary between brands due to factors such as logistics costs, local demand and brand pricing strategies. Based on the latest available updates from major jewellery retailers, the 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 differ slightly depending on the city, state taxes and store-level pricing policies.

What Buyers Should Know

While IBJA publishes benchmark bullion prices, the actual price paid by customers at jewellery stores is usually higher. This is because the final bill includes GST, making charges and design premiums depending on the jewellery piece.

Gold prices in India typically move in line with global bullion trends, currency fluctuations and local demand from investors and jewellery buyers.
