If you want the quick working numbers, here they are. They are the ones most people compare before buying coins, bars or jewellery.

One small detail matters. The headline sona price is usually the pure 24K rate, while retail gold jewellery in India is more commonly billed in 22K, and that shift changes the math immediately. So the number on the screen is the base, not the final invoice.

How Sona Price Changes by Purity and Billing Method
Most confusion starts with purity. A buyer hears 24K, 22K and 18K in the same sentence and assumes the difference is minor. It is not. 24K is essentially pure gold, 22K is the standard 916 category used in Indian jewellery, and 18K is a lower-purity alloy that jewellers use for sturdier designs and stone-studded pieces.
Why the shop price is higher than the spot rate
There is no mystery there. The counter price reflects import duty, GST, local demand, wastage and making charges. BIS hallmarking helps you verify purity, but it does not flatten those extras. A hallmarked 916 chain can still cost far more than the raw 22K spot value once the design work gets added.
MCX gold futures often move first when the rupee weakens or when overseas bullion gets bid up on geopolitical headlines. That matters because India imports most of its gold, and a weaker INR pushes the landed cost up quickly. During festive demand around Dhanteras, Akshaya Tritiya and the wedding season, jewellers often keep premiums firmer than usual too.

Sona Price as an Investment Reference
For a retail buyer, the sona price is not just a chart number. It is the anchor for everything else — coins, bars, mangalsutras, bangles, even the resale value you may get later. That is why many investors watch the 52-week range before they buy, especially when the price has already run up fast on the back of a global risk-off move.
Gold ETFs are cleaner if you want price exposure without locker storage. Digital gold and gold SIPs suit smaller monthly allocations, though the spread can vary across platforms. Sovereign Gold Bonds sit in a different bucket altogether: they offer 2.5% annual interest, come with a lock-in period, and trade on exchanges at market price if liquidity is available. That mix makes them closer to a bond than a bullion purchase, which is exactly why long-term investors often use them differently from physical gold.
Physical gold still has its place. Families buy coins for gifting, bars for savings and jewellery for use. The trade-off is simple: you pay making charges, and you may not recover all of them later. Even so, in India, gold keeps finding a buyer because it still behaves like a monetary asset when inflation, currency weakness or uncertainty start biting.
Sona Price — Questions Buyers Ask
Sona price today in India is ₹15,181.92 per gram for 24K gold as of April 29, 2026. Retail jewellery prices can be higher because of making charges, wastage and GST.
The 22K sona price today is ₹13,916.76 per gram. This is derived from the pure 24K spot price of ₹15,181.92.
The 10 gram sona price today is ₹151,819.20 for 24K gold, before jeweller premium and GST.
MCX gold tracks exchange-traded futures, while jeweller billing adds import duty, GST, making charges and local demand. That is why the counter price usually sits above the MCX quote.
24K is purer, but most Indian jewellery uses 22K because it is harder and more practical for daily wear. Look for BIS hallmark and the 916 stamp on 22K pieces.
Gold ETFs and Sovereign Gold Bonds are cleaner from a storage point of view. Physical sona makes sense if you need coins, gifts or jewellery, but it carries making charges and locker costs.
