In a much-anticipated relief for middle-class families, gold prices saw a notable decline across India on Thursday, April 2, 2026. After months of hitting record highs, the correction in 22K and 24K gold rates at the start of April has brought smiles back to consumers, especially with the wedding season and auspicious occasions around the corner.

In Kolkata and Mumbai, 10 grams of 24-carat gold is currently priced at ₹1,51,420, reflecting a downward trend from the previous high. In the national capital, Delhi, the price for 24-carat gold stood at ₹1,51,570 per 10 grams. Similarly, 22-carat gold has also seen a proportionate dip, making jewelry more affordable for retail buyers. Market analysts suggest that shifting global investor sentiment and fluctuations in the US dollar have contributed to this dip. Jewellery stores are already reporting an increase in footfall as buyers rush to take advantage of this price correction.
