Gold Price Today in Guwahati

Today's gold rate in Guwahati is ₹13,354 per gram for 22K gold and ₹14,568 per gram for 24K gold. Prices are updated daily based on the IBJA (India Bullion and Jewellers Association) rate and include applicable state taxes for Assam.

Guwahati is the financial capital of Northeast India and its primary gold market hub. Pan Bazaar and Fancy Bazaar in the heart of Guwahati are the main jewellery districts. Gold flows through Guwahati to serve all eight northeastern states, making it a strategically important precious metals market.

Assamese culture places high value on gold jewellery, particularly traditional designs like 'Jonbiri' (crescent-shaped earrings), 'Keru' (large gold earrings), and 'Dugdugi' (cylindrical earrings). 'Rongali Bihu' (Assamese New Year) is a major gold-gifting occasion. Bodo, Karbi, and other tribal communities have distinctive gold jewellery traditions.

Buying tip: Guwahati gold prices can be slightly higher than mainland Indian cities due to transportation costs to the Northeast. However, demand from seven other states keeps the market competitive. The Festival of Bihu in April is a peak buying season — prices may run slightly higher during this period.

GST of 3% is applicable on all gold purchases in India. For investment gold (coins, bars), making charges are typically lower than jewellery. Always insist on a BIS hallmark certificate when buying gold in Guwahati.
