The gold rate in Chennai starts from the international spot price of gold in US dollars per ounce. That price is converted to rupees using the current dollar rate, and import duty and market premiums are then added to reach the per-gram price paid in India. Because all Indian cities start from the same base, the rate in Chennai is close to the rate in Delhi, Mumbai or Chennai, with small local differences from taxes, transport and jeweller margins. Today's 24K base rate is ₹14,913 per gram, and the 22K rate used for most jewellery is ₹13,670 per gram.
T. Nagar is the busiest jewellery market in Chennai, and South India is one of the biggest gold buying regions in the country. Before you buy, compare making charges between two or three jewellers, ask for a BIS hallmarked product with a HUID number, and keep the invoice for resale or exchange. To know the exact jewellery price, multiply the weight by the 22K rate and add making charges and 3% GST.
