Why International and Domestic Prices Differ
Domestic rates in India are typically higher than the converted international spot price because they include additional costs:
| Factor | Impact |
|---|---|
| Import Duties | India imports most of its gold, adding significant customs duty to the base price. |
| Taxes | A 3% GST is applied to the gold value. |
| Currency Exchange | Since international gold is priced in USD, fluctuations in the USD/INR exchange rate directly impact local costs. |
| Local Premiums | High seasonal demand (weddings/festivals) can lead to dealer premiums above the global benchmark. |
