1 Kg Gold Rate Today in India
The 1 kg gold rate today sits at ₹15,181.92 per gram for 24K gold as of April 29, 2026. Multiply that across a full kilogram and you are looking at ₹15,181,920.00 before any retail markup, GST, or transport premium. That number matters to bullion buyers, jewellers, and investors alike, because 1 kg is the unit that often anchors wholesale deals in India.
What you see here is the pure spot-linked rate. In the market, traders still watch MCX gold, but the local price also reflects the LBMA gold benchmark, the rupee’s swing against the dollar, and India’s import duty structure. That is why the shop counter can move a little differently from the headline rate on a futures screen.

Why the 1 Kg Rate Is Not the Same as a Jewellery Bill
A clean bullion bar is a different animal from a necklace or bangle. The bar follows the metal rate far more closely, while jewellery prices pick up BIS hallmarking, fabrication losses, making charges, and GST. For a buyer comparing the 1 kg gold rate today with a showroom quotation, that gap is usually where the real surprise sits.
Purity, hallmarking, and the small print
Investment bars usually carry 999 gold purity, which means 24K. Jewellery is commonly 916 gold, or 22K, because pure gold is too soft for daily wear. BIS hallmarking gives buyers a basic purity check, but it does not freeze the final invoice. A retailer still adds labour, wastage, and the kind of premium that gets bigger on heavier, more intricate pieces.
Price movement also does not come from one source alone. A sharp USD/INR move can push the Indian rate up even if global spot stays quiet. Add geopolitical tension, a jump in crude oil, or central bank gold buying, and the market can reprice quickly. That is how the wholesale 1 kg number gets dragged around before the shop floor reacts.

What Buyers Should Do With a 1 Kg Gold Benchmark
Most people never buy a full kilogram, but the benchmark still helps. It tells you whether the market is hot, stale, or simply drifting on currency noise. When wedding demand picks up in north and west India, or when Akshaya Tritiya and Dhanteras are around the corner, that wholesale number usually gets more attention than usual because jewellers are watching their replenishment cost.
If you are buying for investment, a gold ETF or a Sovereign Gold Bond may be cleaner than physical delivery. ETFs track price without lockers or making charges. SGBs are even more interesting for long-term holders because they pay 2.5% annual interest, sit on an exchange, and have a defined tenure. Physical gold still has cultural value, but it does not pay you anything while it sits in a safe.
The real value of following 1 kg gold rate today is context. You see the bigger market swing before retail sentiment catches up. That helps if you are planning a large bullion purchase, booking a bar with a dealer, or simply deciding whether to wait for a softer entry after a sharp run-up. Gold has a habit of staying expensive when confidence in currency and equities gets shaky, and Indian buyers know that pattern well.
1 Kg Gold Rate Today — Frequently Asked Questions
The 1 kg gold rate today in India is based on the 24K spot price of ₹15,181.92 per gram as of April 29, 2026. For 1 kg, that works out to ₹15,181,920.00 before jewellery making charges, GST, or retail premiums.
At today's rate, 22K gold comes to ₹13,916.76 per gram. For 1 kg, that is ₹13,916,760.00 before making charges and taxes.
MCX gold futures track market expectations and move with global cues, while jeweller prices add import duty, GST, logistics, purity loss, and making charges. That is why the shop bill can sit above the pure spot-linked rate you see on MetalsCost.
Investment-grade 1 kg bars are usually 24K and marked as 999 gold. Jewellery is more often 22K, stamped as 916 under BIS hallmarking standards. A 1 kg jewellery piece is rare, and the final bill depends on workmanship more than the raw metal rate.
The base comes from the LBMA gold benchmark and international spot trading, then it is converted into INR using the USD/INR rate. Indian import duty, local levies, and market premiums shape the final 1 kg gold rate today.
A gold ETF avoids storage, theft risk, and making charges, so it suits investors. Physical gold still matters for delivery, jewellery use, or deep cultural preference. The better choice depends on why you are buying, not just the rate.
