The modern day Hosur, located in Tamil Nadu is a satellite town of Bangalore, though it falls under the legalities and jurisdiction of Tamil Nadu. Hosur houses many industrial complexes and SEZs for industrial companies. Though from a birds-eye-view it might seem that Hosur is not a very prospering region, looks often belie the fact that the region is quite prosperous and residents invest in gold quite frequently. Industrial activity and a good pay scale in these areas has contributed to a healthy consumption of gold in Hosur while the rates of gold are more or less in tune with the international markets. Hosur being primarily an industrial town, festivities being observed are far and few between, so the gold that is actually invested in Hosur accounts mostly through investment. That in no way may signify that the consumption of gold in the form of jewellery is ignored.

Gold price in Hosur

The 24 karat variant of gold that is regarded as the purest variety is also the softest variant of the precious metal and in its own weight, isn’t worth for crafting jewellery. The primary reason being that it is too soft for daily use. 24 karat gold is normally used in conjunction with other metals such as copper, platinum, bronze and others to produce different shades of gold that have some amount of weight and durability required in jewellery. 22 karat gold is also a variant that is used for jewellery and for plating conducting metals used in electronics. 18 karat and 14 karat gold are lesser used variants, finding their applications in mostly commercial uses though usability in jewellery is not unheard of. International market trends, import duties and various government cess affect the rates of gold in Hosur, along with the economic law of supply and demand. The difference in the international rates and the local rates in Hosur stays more or less marginal though.

24 karat gold

24 karat gold in all its purity, as told above, is unsuitable for jewellery. However this purity becomes an advantage when it comes to investing in gold. In March 10, 2010, 24 karat gold weighing a gram had a list price of INR 2968. This price is in accordance with the international rates and the duties and taxes added. Any physical form of this 24 karat gold, like coins and bars will cost marginally higher per gram. That marginal cost mostly includes making charges and minting costs. After a 5 year low in the rates of gold in 2015, the beginning of 2016 started off with gold rates stabilising and going back up to their former stature. There has been an increase of around INR 400 for the cost of one gram of 24 karat gold since January 2016 and post the hiatus of the US Federal Reserve taxation, it is expected gold rates will continue to climb. August 2015 saw the lowest price of gold at INR 2510 for one gram of 24 karat purity.

22 karat gold

With a 92% purity, 22 karat gold is preferred by people who want to invest in gold but do not find the 24 karat gold within their specific economic means. 22 karat gold is more affordable than the 24 karat variant because of the lesser purity and it also involves lesser fractioning in alloys when used in jewellery. One gram of 22 karat gold had a rate of INR 2760 per gram in Hosur as of March 10, 2016. Being the lesser sibling of 24 karat gold, 22 karat gold also faced the same falling rates in 2015. In August 2015 a gram of 22 karat gold was trading at INR 2350 per gram and subsequently, in January 2016, this variant of gold appreciated to INR 2374 per gram.
