Gold prices in Bengaluru on May 14, 2026 stood at Rs 16,233 per gram for 24 carat gold, Rs 14,880 per gram for 22 carat gold and Rs 12,175 per gram for 18 carat gold, as domestic bullion rates continued to trade near elevated levels after the recent import duty-led price adjustment.
For Bengaluru consumers, 10 grams of 24 carat gold costs Rs 1,62,330 today, while 10 grams of 22 carat gold costs Rs 1,48,800. The rate for 10 grams of 18 carat gold stands at Rs 1,21,750.
Bengaluru’s rates match the standard national baseline seen in several major markets including Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Kerala and Pune. Chennai continues to trade at a higher level, with 24 carat gold priced at Rs 16,418 per gram, while Delhi is slightly lower at Rs 16,226 per gram. Vadodara and Ahmedabad are marginally higher at Rs 16,238 per gram.
The current pricing comes after India’s gold market saw a sharp move following the government’s decision to raise import duty on precious metals from 6% to 15%. The duty hike pushed domestic gold prices to a higher base, with retail and futures prices adjusting quickly to the new landed cost structure.
Bengaluru remains one of South India’s important jewellery markets, with steady demand from wedding buyers, retail consumers and investment-focused households. Gold purchases in the city are closely linked to festive demand, family events and long-term savings preferences.
After the sharp duty-led movement, the market now appears to be consolidating around the new price zone. Buyers in Bengaluru are likely to track international gold prices, rupee movement, crude oil trends and geopolitical developments for further cues.
Gold prices may remain volatile in the near term as global markets monitor the Trump-Xi meeting, Iran ceasefire developments, inflation data and movement in the U.S. dollar. In India, higher import duty and rupee weakness continue to keep domestic prices elevated.
Rates are indicative and may vary from jeweller to jeweller. The above prices exclude GST, making charges, TCS and other local levies. Buyers should check final rates with their local jeweller before making any purchase.
