The gold rate in any location is subject to variations and fluctuations based on international market trends, the purity of the gold in question, etc. The form of the gold being bought also affects the end price the customer pays – for example, 10 grams of gold would be cheaper (charged at the base rate) in the form of a coin or bullion, but more expensive in the form of jewelry.
24 karat gold: The purest form that gold is available in is the 24 karat variety. This form of gold, while not being ideally suited for the crafting of jewelry, is treated more as an investment and traded accordingly. Currently, 10 grams of 24 karat gold in Sangli costs Rs.30,680 (as on 11th March, 2016). This year, the price has steadily increased from Rs.26,680 for 10 grams in January (as on 13th January, 2016), to Rs.30,050 in February (as on 24thFebruary, 2016) to the present rate of Rs.30,680.
22 karat gold: Gold loses some of its purity when it is mixed with certain “impurities” which make the gold ideal for smithing and jewelry making. The best gold jewelry is found in 22 karat purity, as skilled and master craftsmen prefer this gold for ornamentation and decoration. Currently, 10 grams of 22 karat gold in Sangli costs Rs.28,480 (as on 11th March, 2016). Over the last week, the price has risen slowly from Rs.Rs.27,540 on the 2nd of March, to Rs.27,770 on the 7th, and Rs.28,480 presently.
