How To Calculate Gold And Silver Prices In India:


Gold is global asset and prices should be uniform across the world.So base price in United States is considered and depending upon currency value of respective country,prices of Gold and silver are decided.

Basic gold prices are in terms of troy-ounce and get converted into grams.Then after using Dollar-rupee conversion factor and adding import duty gold prices are decided.

Current Gold Prices In US:  $1750 / Ounce.

1 Troy-ounce : 32.15 Grams.

Current Gold prices in Grams: 1750 / 32.15 = $54.50 / gram.

Dollar To Rupee Currency convesrion factor :: 1 USD : 49 Rs.

S0,Current Gold Prices In Grams in Indian rupees: 54.10 x 49 = 2670.05

+ Import Duty [2%] .Duty is applicable on the base rate declared by Govt time to time.Current Gold import base price is $499.
