Gold Prices Surge Again, Silver Slips: Check Today’s Latest Gold and Silver Rates Across India
Gold prices in India moved higher once again on February 25, 2026, strengthening their upward trend despite mixed signals from the global market. In contrast, silver prices witnessed a noticeable dip during morning trade, giving investors and buyers two very different signals from the precious metals space. Here is a detailed look at today’s gold and silver prices, the reasons behind the movement, and city-wise rates across major Indian markets.
Gold Price Today: Domestic Rates Climb Further
Gold continued its rally in the Indian bullion market on Tuesday morning. In Delhi, the price of 24-carat gold rose to ₹1,61,940 per 10 grams, while 22-carat gold was priced at ₹1,48,460 per 10 grams. This marks a steady increase compared to the previous session, when gold had already gained ₹400 per 10 grams in the local market.
Other major metros also reported firm prices. In Mumbai, 24-carat gold was trading at ₹1,61,790 per 10 grams, while 22-carat gold stood at ₹1,48,310 per 10 grams. Similar levels were seen in Chennai and Kolkata, indicating broad-based strength in domestic prices.
Market experts say that gold prices in India are being supported by strong buying from local jewellers and stockists, especially ahead of the upcoming wedding season. Even though international gold prices showed some softness, domestic demand and currency factors kept prices elevated in India.
Global Gold Market Snapshot
On the global front, spot gold was trading at $5,157.16 per ounce. Analysts noted that while international prices showed limited movement, the weakness of the Indian rupee made gold more expensive for buyers holding other currencies. This currency impact has played a key role in pushing up domestic gold rates despite global price fluctuations.

Silver Price Today: Rates Decline
Unlike gold, silver prices moved lower on February 25. In the Delhi bullion market, silver slipped to ₹2,84,900 per kilogram during morning trade. This marks a decline from the previous session, when silver prices had remained steady at ₹2,72,000 per kilogram.
In the international market, spot silver was quoted at $88.19 per ounce. Despite today’s fall, it is worth noting that silver prices had crossed the ₹4 lakh per kilogram mark earlier this year in January, highlighting the metal’s high volatility in recent months.
What’s Driving the Divergence Between Gold and Silver?
Market observers believe that gold is currently benefiting from its safe-haven appeal, supported by steady jewellery demand and currency-related factors. Silver, on the other hand, is facing pressure due to profit booking and fluctuating industrial demand expectations.
Outlook for Investors
With gold prices remaining firm and silver showing short-term weakness, experts advise investors to track global cues, currency movements, and domestic demand trends closely. For buyers, especially those planning jewellery purchases, keeping an eye on daily price changes could help in making more informed decisions in the coming days.
Overall, February 25 brought higher gold prices and softer silver rates, underlining the contrasting trends currently shaping India’s precious metals market.
