On April 16, 2026, gold prices saw a slight increase amidst fluctuating stock indices, with major jewellery brands like Tanishq, Kalyan Jewellers, and Malabar Gold & Diamonds reporting rising rates. Tanishq's 22K gold is priced at ₹14,300 per gram, an increase from ₹14,280 the previous day. Similarly, Kalyan Jewellers and Malabar Gold & Diamonds set their prices at ₹14,260 per gram, up from ₹14,240. This uptick in gold prices is attributed to easing tensions between the US and Iran and is expected to continue as the festive occasion of Akshaya Tritiya approaches on April 19, 2026. Industry experts predict that gold could trend towards ₹1,60,000–₹1,65,000 in the near term, with silver potentially reaching ₹2,90,000–₹3,00,000 due to robust industrial demand. To attract buyers during this festive season, various jewellery brands have rolled out special pre-booking schemes and cashback offers.
