Domestic Indian gold prices have fallen 21% from the record high of ₹1,80,779 per 10 grams to around ₹1,42,364 as of November 2026[^1]. International gold corrected 29.7% from the January 2026 peak of $5,598 per ounce to $3,937 per ounce[^2].

Prices fell approximately ₹1000 per 10 gram in the 24 hours before the report was filed[^3]. Jewellers stated both festive and investment gold purchases have been impacted by price uncertainty[^4].

Jewellers in Ludhiana reported reduced gold sales during Dhanteras, as buyers expect further declines[^5]. Jos Alukkas managing director Paul Alukkas stated the gold price correction brought waiting buyers into the market for the festival[^6].

Motilal Oswal analysis notes domestic gold prices rose from approximately ₹30,000 per 10 grams in 2016 to nearly ₹150,000 per 10 grams in 2026[^7].
