Details of Gold Price in Karnataka (22 Karat & 24 Karat) - Till August 2015
Rate at which gold sells in the market changes every day with respect to the movement of the stock market. Also, gold rates differ for different purity of the metal. For example rates for 24 karat gold are different from those of 18 karat gold. Given below is a brief snapshot of the current gold prices in Karnataka.
- 22 karat gold rate
22 karat gold is widely used in making jewelry since it is more ductile and malleable as compared to the purest form 24 karat. Since 22 karat gold is just 92% gold and rest other metals, hence, the rate of 22 karat gold is lower than that of 24 karat. Currently 22 k gold in Karnataka costs Rs.2,361 per gram which equals Rs.23,610 per 10 grams and Rs,23,61,000 per Kilogram.
- 24 karat gold rate
Gold coins and gold bars are sold by retailers and wholesalers as the purest form of gold. These coins and bars are made up of 24 karat gold which is 99.99% pure. Banks are one of the chief sources of these coins and small bars. Banks offer their customers options to buy gold either online or by visiting any of the bank branches. Since making charges are levied on jewelry fashioned out of gold hence gold bars and coins are the standard form of saving via gold. As of August 2015, 24k gold in Karnataka cost Rs.2,522 per gram which translates to Rs.25,22,000 per kilogram.
