Gold and Silver Price Today, 6 December 2025: Silver Near ₹1.8 Lakh/kg, Gold Above ₹1.3 Lakh

New Delhi / Patna, 6 December 2025 – India’s bullion market is ending the week with gold and silver prices still hovering near record territory. After a sharp spike on Friday, silver has cooled only marginally, while gold continues to grind higher, leaving investors and jewellery buyers asking the same question: is this the moment to invest more, hold on, or book profits?

Fresh data from the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA), Hindi business channels, and city‑wise rate trackers show 24‑carat gold comfortably above ₹1.28 lakh per 10 grams and silver close to ₹1.8 lakh per kilogram at the benchmark level as of 6 December 2025. ^[1]

At the same time, local markets such as Patna, Jaipur, Delhi and Mumbai are seeing slight day‑to‑day adjustments rather than any big crash, even after an explosive rally in silver this week. ^[2]

Headline Rates: IBJA Gold and Silver Prices for 6 December 2025

Because wholesale bullion trade largely pauses on weekends, the latest IBJA prices published on Friday afternoon effectively act as the reference for both Saturday, 6 December, and Sunday, 7 December 2025. ^[3]

IBJA benchmark rates (all‑India, excluding GST and making charges): ^[4]

Gold (per 10 g):
- 24K (999 purity): ₹1,28,592
- 23K: ₹1,28,077
- 22K (916): ₹1,17,790
- 18K (750): ₹96,444
- 14K (585): ₹75,226
Silver (999 purity, per kg):
- ₹1,78,210

These numbers confirm two big trends:

Gold has climbed steadily – IBJA data show 24K gold up roughly ₹2,500 per 10 g over the last 10 days, indicating a strong but orderly uptrend. ^[5]
Silver has gone almost vertical – over the same period, silver has gained about ₹19,000 per kg, far outpacing gold’s percentage move. ^[6]

In Delhi’s physical sarafa (bullion) market, the Akhil Bhartiya Sarafa Sangh reports gold around ₹1,32,900 per 10 g and silver near ₹1,83,500 per kg (including taxes) – again underscoring that retail counters are quoting slightly higher than IBJA’s ex‑tax reference. ^[7]

City‑Wise Gold Rates: Delhi, Mumbai, Patna, Jaipur and More

Times Now Navbharat’s IBJA‑based city table for 6 December gives a clear picture of where gold is trading today across major centres. ^[8]

Gold price today (per 10 g)

According to IBJA‑linked city rates:

Delhi
- 24K: ₹1,30,090
- 22K: ₹1,19,260
Mumbai / Kolkata
- 24K: ₹1,29,940
- 22K: ₹1,19,110
Chennai
- 24K: ₹1,30,900
- 22K: ₹1,19,990
Patna
- 24K: ₹1,29,990
- 22K: ₹1,19,160
Jaipur, Lucknow, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram
- 24K: ₹1,30,090
- 22K: ₹1,19,260

These are indicative reference rates for pure bullion. Final jewellery prices in showrooms are usually higher because of:

3% GST
Making charges and design premiums
Local market margins and brand mark‑ups

Why do different websites show slightly different numbers?

If you compare IBJA‑linked tables with city‑specific portals, you’ll notice small gaps:

Goodreturns – for Patna on 6 December, it pegs 24K gold at ₹12,999 per gram (≈₹1,29,990 per 10 g) and 22K at ₹11,916 per gram (≈₹1,19,160 per 10 g) – basically identical to the IBJA city table. ^[9]
ABP Live’s Patna rate page, by contrast, shows 24K around ₹1,35,639 and 22K near ₹1,24,960 per 10 g, down about 0.19% from the previous day. ^[10]

The difference doesn’t mean one source is “wrong” – it usually reflects:

Whether GST and local premiums are included
Whether the rate is a wholesale benchmark or a retail jewellery quote
What time of day the data was captured

In practice, though, all sources agree that in most major Indian cities today, 24K gold is hovering roughly between ₹1.29–1.36 lakh per 10 g, and 22K around ₹1.18–1.25 lakh per 10 g.

Silver’s Wild Rally: From 1.76 Lakh to Nearly 1.9 Lakh per kg

If gold has been strong, silver has been outright aggressive.

1. Friday’s spike: Jagran and Aaj Tak highlight “stormy” silver

Two Hindi outlets set the tone going into the weekend:

Dainik Jagran – “Silver Price Hike: थमने का नाम नहीं ले रही चांदी…”
- On 5 December, Jagran reported MCX silver at about ₹1,80,330 per kg around 10 am, up over ₹2,190 in a single day, with an intraday range of roughly ₹1,79,200–₹1,80,500 per kg.
- City rates showed Patna near ₹1,80,410, Jaipur near ₹1,80,480 and Indore at the higher end around ₹1,81,080 per kg. ^[11]
Aaj Tak – “Gold-Silver Price Today: चांदी की कीमत में भारी इजाफा, 2400 रुपये बढ़ा दाम…”
- Using IBJA’s 5 December data, Aaj Tak highlighted 999 silver jumping from ₹1,76,625 to roughly ₹1,79,025 per kg, a ₹2,400 one‑day surge, while 24K gold climbed past the ₹1.28 lakh mark. ^[12]

A second Jagran piece on Friday evening then showed MCX silver futures spiking to around ₹1,82,869 per kg, with IBJA referencing silver at ₹1,78,210 per kg and 24K gold at ₹1,28,592 per 10 g, and pointed out that silver had gained about ₹19,185 in just 10 days. ^[13]

2. Today’s snapshot: still near the top, minor cooling

By Saturday, 6 December:

IBJA’s latest 999 silver benchmark stands at about ₹1,78,210 per kg, implying a modest pullback from the intraday futures highs but still extremely elevated by historical standards. ^[14]
Goodreturns’ India‑wide silver rate for the same date shows ₹186.90 per gram, or about ₹1,86,900 per kg, down only ₹100 from the previous day – effectively flat at very high levels. ^[15]
Regional trackers for Jaipur and other Rajasthan markets place silver between ₹1.82–1.96 lakh per kg, depending on the city and whether you look at wholesale board rates or retail counter quotes. ^[16]

So while the headline spike came on 4–5 December, silver on 6 December is still trading close to those peaks rather than collapsing, which is exactly what has long‑term investors excited and short‑term traders nervous.

Patna Focus: Gold Slightly Cheaper, Silver Stable

A News18 Bihar headline for 6 December captures the local mood: “Patna gold became cheaper, silver rate stable.” While the full article is behind technical restrictions for us, other Patna‑specific trackers back up that summary.

Two data points stand out:

ABP Live (Patna gold page, 6 December 2025)
- 24K gold: ₹1,35,639 per 10 g (vs ₹1,35,899 a day earlier)
- 22K gold: ₹1,24,960 per 10 g (vs ₹1,25,199 previously)
- The site notes a drop of around 0.19% across purities – small, but enough to call gold “cheaper” day‑on‑day. ^[17]
Goodreturns (Patna gold rates, 6 December 2025)
- 24K gold: ₹12,999 per gram (~₹1,29,990 per 10 g), up just ₹1 per gram from the previous day.
- 22K gold: ₹11,916 per gram, again barely changed. ^[18]

Taken together, these suggest:

Retail jewellery quotes in Patna have softened marginally at some counters, even as national benchmarks remain firm.
Day‑to‑day change is tiny – we’re talking a few hundred rupees on a 10‑gram bar – but psychologically, shoppers tend to notice any move labelled “सस्ता” (cheaper).
Silver appears broadly steady in Patna, after the huge weekly run‑up indicated by nationwide IBJA and MCX data.

For wedding‑season buyers in Bihar, this environment feels less like a crash and more like a brief pause at the top.

Why Are Gold and Silver Prices So High Right Now?

The current price action is the result of both global and domestic forces converging.

Global drivers

According to Times Now’s business coverage, international spot gold is now above $4,220 per ounce, while silver is trading in the high‑$50s per ounce range. ^[19]

Several factors are feeding into that:

Expectations that the US Federal Reserve will move closer to a rate‑cut cycle, lowering real yields.
A softer US dollar index, which tends to support dollar‑denominated commodities like gold and silver. ^[20]
Strong investment demand via ETFs and futures as traders hedge against geopolitical risk and inflation.

Domestic triggers

Inside India, three big themes are reinforcing the move:

Wedding season demand – Post‑festive and winter weddings traditionally drive jewellery buying, particularly in northern and central India.
RBI’s easier policy stance – Recent rate cuts from the Reserve Bank of India have lowered the opportunity cost of holding non‑interest‑bearing assets like gold and silver, and have supported risk‑asset sentiment more broadly. TechStock²
Tight physical supply in some hubs – Reports from Rajasthan and other bullion centres suggest that certain popular bars and coins are facing intermittent tightness, keeping premiums elevated in cities like Jaipur and Kota. TechStock²

All of this explains why prices have roughly doubled in silver and surged in gold over the last year in some benchmarks, and why the market feels “expensive” but not yet exhausted to many analysts.

What Are Experts Saying: Invest More in Silver, or Book Profits?

The original Dainik Jagran explainer that you cited tackles this head‑on: with silver refusing to cool off, should investors buy, hold or sell? ^[21]

1. Silver as a long‑term play

Commodity analyst Ajay Kedia, quoted by Jagran, makes a few key points (paraphrased): ^[22]

Silver’s structural story – driven by its dual role as a precious metal and an industrial input (solar panels, electronics, EVs) – still supports long‑term investment.
After such a steep rally, short‑term corrections are normal, so panic profit‑booking purely because prices have spiked can be risky.
For most retail investors, it’s safer to use systematic investments in silver‑linked mutual funds or ETFs rather than trying to time leveraged futures or frequent physical trades.

2. Gold as a portfolio stabiliser

Broader financial commentary across Indian business media this year has stressed that gold should be treated less as a “lottery ticket” and more as a strategic hedge:

A 5–15% allocation to gold (and, optionally, a smaller slice to silver) is often cited as a sensible range by financial planners for diversified portfolios.
Silver, because it is more volatile, is usually recommended as a smaller satellite position compared with gold, not the core of a portfolio.

Important: None of this is personalised investment advice. It’s a summary of general market commentary. Your own decisions should depend on your time horizon, risk tolerance and overall financial plan.

Practical Strategies for Different Types of Investors Today

Given where prices are on 6 December 2025, here’s a practical way to think about your options.

1. If you have very little gold or silver

You’re under‑allocated to precious metals (say, under ~5% of your investments).
In that case, the current environment still supports gradual entry, not big lump‑sum bets.
Consider staggered buying (SIPs in gold/silver ETFs or funds, or periodic purchases of Sovereign Gold Bonds when available) to average out the risk if prices correct.

2. If you’re sitting on large profits, especially in silver

If you bought when 24K gold was closer to ₹75,000 per 10 g and silver near ₹90,000 per kg, today’s levels likely mean substantial gains. TechStock²+1
If silver or gold has grown to a disproportionately large chunk of your net worth (say, 15–20%+), many planners would consider partial profit‑taking and rebalancing:
- Sell a portion to bring your allocation back within your comfort zone.
- Keep some exposure if you still believe in the long‑term story.

3. If you’re a short‑term trader

Recognise that you are trading in a high‑volatility, news‑driven environment.
Focus on strict risk management – small position sizes, stop‑loss orders, and avoiding over‑leveraging on MCX.
Be prepared for 20–30% swings in silver if the global macro narrative changes quickly.

4. If you’re buying jewellery for weddings or festivals

If your purchase is non‑negotiable (weddings, commitments), trying to time the last ₹500–₹1,000 per 10 g is often not worth the stress.
What you can control:
- Compare making charges across jewellers.
- Prefer standard purities (22K for jewellery, 24K or coins/bars for investment).
- Check weights and purity via hallmarking, and keep invoices safe.

Should You Buy, Hold or Sell on 6 December 2025?

Putting all the above together:

Prices today are high, not cheap.
- 24K gold around ₹1.28–1.30 lakh per 10 g at the benchmark level, with city premiums taking it higher. ^[23]
- Silver between ₹1.78–1.88 lakh per kg across major Indian cities. ^[24]
Momentum is still positive, especially in silver, but one‑way surges rarely continue forever.
Expert commentary from Hindi business media leans towards:
- Long‑term investors: Stay focused on gradual, SIP‑style investing and avoid emotional profit‑booking based on short‑term spikes. ^[25]
- Over‑exposed holders: Consider trimming and rebalancing rather than trying to call the exact top.
- New investors: Build exposure slowly, with realistic return expectations from here.

Key Takeaways for Readers and Google Discover

Silver has been the star of 2025, delivering far higher percentage gains than gold and now trading close to ₹1.8–1.9 lakh per kg in many markets.
Gold remains a strong, steadily rising hedge, sitting above ₹1.3 lakh per 10 g in many Indian cities.
Patna and other tier‑2 centres are seeing gold just a touch cheaper or broadly flat today, while silver prices remain elevated but stable – good news for nervous local buyers who feared an immediate spike. ^[26]
The core dilemma—“buy, hold or sell?”—has no one‑size‑fits‑all answer, but most serious analysts agree on two principles:
1. Treat gold and silver as part of a diversified portfolio, not a speculative all‑in bet.
2. Let your time horizon and risk appetite, not headlines, decide whether you add, hold or book profits.
