Gold prices in India remained steady on Sunday, March 15, with retail rates for 24-karat, 22-karat, and 18-karat gold seeing minimal change. Although the yellow metal registered a slight decline over the past week, 24-karat gold continued to trade near the ₹1.6 lakh level, indicating that prices remain elevated despite short-term fluctuations.

The price of 24-karat gold in India stood at ₹159,070 per 10 gram at 1:05 pm on Sunday. Meanwhile 22-karat gold was priced at ₹145,814 per 10 gram. At the same time, 18-karat gold, which has lower purity level, is being sold at ₹119,303 per 10 gram in the retail market.

However, gold could witness volatility in the coming days as investors track the upcoming policy decision by the Federal Reserve meeting and geopolitical developments surrounding the conflict between the US, Israel and Iran.

Gold in the retail market is typically sold in 24-karat, 22-karat, and 18-karat purity. While 24K gold is considered the purest form, 22K gold is commonly used for jewellery as its more solid. Here's a look at the latest gold prices across major Indian cities on March 15, 2026.
