Gold Rate in Orissa
Gold rates in Odisha depend on the several factors, including but not limited to, quantum of India’s gold imports, supply, demand and price fluctuations in world markets among others. The government of India raises import duties on the yellow metal to reduce the current account deficit. The price of the yellow metal touched a 4-year low in India this year. Gold was one of the major non-performing assets over the past two years in India. According to experts, gold prices are expected to slide further in the coming few months in anticipation of an interest rate hike in the US in September this year.
Odisha has rich mineral deposits. A survey conducted by GSI, few years ago, revealed presence of gold in several districts in Odisha, namely, such as Mayurbhanj, Koraput, Malkangiri and Nabarangpur.

Gold is widely used during festive occasions and weddings with jewellery stores displaying a variety of traditional designs. There have been reports of many customers putting off their plans to buy the yellow metal in anticipation of a further drop in gold rates.Gold Rate Trend in Odisha for January 2017 to March 2017 (per gram of 24 karat gold)
