Gold Price Today, October 3, 2026: Gold and silver prices have been fluctuating in recent months, keeping investors and jewellery buyers attentive to daily rate changes. However, gold prices in India are expected to remain at the previous trading session’s levels on Saturday, October 3, as the bullion market is closed. The market also remained closed on Friday, October 2, on account of Gandhi Jayanti.

According to the rates provided by bullion sources, 24-carat gold is priced at ₹1,50,540 per 10 grams. GoodReturns lists the price at ₹1,50,450 per 10 grams. Rates can differ slightly between providers and cities, so buyers should confirm the latest local price before making a purchase.

In the international market, gold was quoted at $4,210.80 per ounce, according to the supplied figures.

According to the supplied GoodReturns rates, the indicative prices in major cities are:

Prices are in Indian rupees and are based on the figures supplied for this article. They are indicative and may vary by jeweller. Making charges, GST and other applicable costs are not included.

Why Do Gold Rates Differ Between Cities?

Gold prices can vary across cities because of local demand, transportation costs, taxes and jewellers’ pricing practices. The purity of the gold also matters: 24-carat gold is purer than 22-carat and 18-carat gold, which contain different proportions of other metals.

Before buying jewellery, customers should check the day’s rate with a local jeweller, confirm the purity and hallmarking details, and ask for a bill that clearly lists the gold price, making charges and applicable taxes.

What Should Buyers Know Today?

With the bullion market closed on Saturday, the previous available rates remain a reference point for buyers. Anyone planning to purchase gold should verify the price with a jeweller before placing an order, particularly because displayed rates may differ between websites and retail outlets.

Gold prices can change when trading resumes, depending on international prices, currency movements and market demand. The rates listed above should therefore be treated as indicative prices rather than a guaranteed selling or purchase price.
