Gold Rate in Jodhpur
There are only 3 gold fields in India – Hutti and Uti in Karnataka, and Hirabuddini mines in Jharkhand. Therefore, much of the gold used in India is imported. Because of this, gold prices follow the international trends. Prices also shoot up during the wedding season because of high demand and limited supply.
Most of the gold bought over the counter in India is in the form of 24-karat gold coins/bars (this is mainly for investment purposes), and jewelry made of 22-karat, 20-karat, 18-karat or 14-karat gold. Of these, 22-karat is the most popular and its prices can be easily tracked. Pure gold is not strong enough to be molded into ornaments and hence is mixed with silver, copper or nickel.

This is Rs. 180 higher than the price of gold a week ago. Compared to the price of Rs. 30,374 in the national capital of Delhi, this is Rs. 684 lower.
22-karat gold price: Jewellery is usually made with 22-karat gold, with a purity of 91.6%. The rates of 22-karat gold are lower than that of 24-karat gold because of the decreased purity.
