Gold Rate Today in Dadra and Nagar Haveli – 7 Nov 2026, 8 AM IST

The figures in the live table are bullion reference rates for Dadra and Nagar Haveli, quoted per gram across 24 karat gold at 99.9 percent purity, 22 karat at 91.6 percent, 18 karat at 75 percent and 14 karat at 58.5 percent, refreshed every business day against MCX and IBJA benchmarks.

Silvassa, the territory's main town, sits at the border of Gujarat and Maharashtra and its gold market reflects that position directly: jewellers and buyers alike are drawn from both states, giving Silvassa a genuinely mixed retail character rather than one dominant regional style. The territory is also one of western India's significant industrial hubs, with strong manufacturing in textiles, plastics, chemicals and electronics, and its large migrant industrial workforce shapes jewellery-buying patterns as much as any single local tradition does. This page covers today's rate, how it is set, purity and hallmark verification, making charges with a worked bill example, where to buy and sell, the buying calendar, taxation and a detailed FAQ.

The weight table converts today's per gram rate into common denominations, from a single gram through 10 grams, 50 grams, 100 grams and a kilogram, at each of the four common purities.

Units used in Silvassa

Given Silvassa's position between Gujarat and Maharashtra, both the gram and 10 gram denomination dominate modern retail, while some buyers with Gujarati roots still reference purchases informally against a tola-like unit. It is worth confirming which unit a quoted price refers to when comparing across shops with different regional customer bases.

International markets quote the troy ounce, at 31.1035 grams, converted into rupee and gram terms before it reaches Silvassa's retail market.

There is no significant local wholesale kilogram bar trade in the territory; buyers wanting bullion at that scale typically source it from nearby Surat or Mumbai.

A single day's rate tells you very little. The last ten sessions tell you whether today's print sits at the top of a run, at the bottom of a pullback, or in the middle of a flat stretch.

Read three things from the ten day table. The net movement from the earliest session to today. The high and the low, which give the trading range. And whether daily changes are small and steady or large and alternating.

For a wedding purchase this matters less than it appears, since the date is fixed well in advance. For a coin or bar purchase with no deadline, the ten day range is the cheapest timing information available.

The trend table sets today's rate against its opening and closing values over seven days, 30 days, three months, six months, the year to date and 12 months.

What each window tells you

The seven and 30 day windows capture sentiment: short term positioning, fund flows and reaction to news. The three and six month windows capture the macro cycle, principally the direction of real interest rates and the strength of the dollar. The 12 month and year to date windows capture the structural story, chiefly sustained central bank accumulation alongside steady retail demand across Asia.

Longer windows are more reliable and less actionable. A 12 month gain confirms the asset did its job in a portfolio. It says nothing useful about next week's rate.

Because Silvassa's market sits between the Gujarat and Maharashtra benchmarks, this trend line tracks both closely, and the territory rarely shows an independent price movement of its own.

The rate follows the same national chain as everywhere in India, with the territory's border position shaping the local step.

Step one: the international benchmark

Gold trades continuously in US dollars per troy ounce, anchored by the London Bullion Market Association price and COMEX futures.

Step two: the rupee conversion

The dollar price converts at the prevailing USD to INR rate.

Step three: duty and levies

Basic customs duty and the Agriculture Infrastructure and Development Cess apply to landed value nationally.

Step four: the regional benchmark

MCX and the India Bullion and Jewellers Association, headquartered in Mumbai, produce the reference figures the national trade prices from. Silvassa's proximity to both Surat and Mumbai means local jewellers effectively price against whichever nearby benchmark is more competitive on a given day.

Step five: why the territory's rate sits where it does

Silvassa is not a bullion import point, so its base rate typically runs a modest margin above Mumbai's. Because it draws on two neighbouring gold markets, buyers here often have unusually good visibility into whether they are getting a competitive local price.

Seven forces account for almost all daily movement. The first four are global, the last three domestic.

Real interest rates. Gold pays no income, so it competes with interest bearing assets. When inflation adjusted yields fall, gold tends to rise.

The US dollar. Gold is priced in dollars, so a stronger dollar generally pushes the international price down and a weaker dollar lifts it.

Central bank demand. Reserve buying has been large and persistent in recent years.

Geopolitical and financial stress. Conflict, banking stress and sovereign risk push capital toward assets with no counterparty.

The rupee. A weaker rupee raises the territory's rate independent of any move in international gold.

Seasonal demand. Because Silvassa's population blends migrants from across India working in its industrial belt, buying patterns reflect a genuinely wide mix of festivals and home-state customs, in addition to the national wedding season and Akshaya Tritiya.

Policy. Import duty revisions produce one off national steps with no connection to any local factor.

The territory's organised gold trade is concentrated in one main town.

• Gold rate in Silvassa | the territory's main town and its principal organised jewellery market, drawing buyers and jewellers from both Gujarat and Maharashtra

Outside Silvassa, organised jewellery retail across the territory's smaller settlements remains limited, and residents there commonly travel into Silvassa, or across the nearby Gujarat and Maharashtra borders, for significant purchases.

916 is another way of writing 22 karat. It refers to 91.6 percent pure gold, with the remaining 8.4 percent made up of alloy metals that give the piece strength. On 18 karat the equivalent grade is 750, and on 14 karat it is 585.

916 carries the great majority of jewellery sold in Silvassa, spanning a genuinely wide mix of regional styles given the territory's diverse migrant population. The number is not marketing language. It is the purity grade stamped by a BIS recognised assaying and hallmarking centre, and it appears alongside the BIS logo and a six character HUID.

When you check the 916 gold rate in Dadra and Nagar Haveli today, you are looking at this exact purity, not the 999 rate used for coins and bars. When you resell or exchange, the 916 grade determines the gold value you are credited.

The rate on this page is the metal price. What you pay at the counter adds two things: making charges, and GST at 3 percent on the total of metal plus making.

What making charges run in Silvassa

• Plain chains and machine-made pieces | roughly 8 to 12 percent, generally competitive given the territory's proximity to Surat's manufacturing base
• Handcrafted traditional and bridal work | roughly 14 to 20 percent, varying with the regional style requested
• Branded showroom pieces | 14 percent and above

A worked example

Take a 10 gram 22 karat chain with 10 percent making. Metal value is 10 grams at today's 916 rate. Add 10 percent of that as making charges. Add 3 percent GST on the subtotal. The final bill is roughly 13.3 percent above the pure metal value.

Because Silvassa sits close to both Surat and Mumbai, comparing a local quote against those markets before buying is genuinely practical here. Always ask for the making charge as a percentage in writing.

Every piece of gold jewellery sold in the notified areas of the territory must carry three marks. Check all three before you pay.

• The BIS logo | the triangular Bureau of Indian Standards mark
• The purity grade | 916 for 22 karat, 750 for 18 karat, 585 for 14 karat
• The HUID | a six character alphanumeric code unique to the piece

Verify the HUID in the BIS Care app: enter the code and the app returns the registered purity, the article type and the hallmarking centre. If the details do not match the piece in your hand, walk away. Silvassa's proximity to Surat and Mumbai means most jewellery sold locally is hallmarked at established centres in those cities, so there is no reason to accept an unhallmarked piece.

Insist on the HUID printed on the invoice as well. It ties the bill to the piece, which matters for insurance, resale and any future dispute.

Dadra and Nagar Haveli's gold market is defined less by a single local tradition than by the territory's role as one of western India's important industrial hubs, with strong manufacturing activity in textiles, plastics, packaging, chemicals, electronics and engineering products.

A market shaped by migration

Silvassa's large industrial workforce draws migrant labour and business families from across India, and jewellery-buying patterns in the territory reflect customs from many different states and communities rather than one dominant regional style. This is genuinely different from most states on this site, where a single strong local tradition, whether Gujarati, Assamese or Andhra, tends to shape the bulk of demand.

What this means for design and stock

Jewellers in Silvassa typically stock a wide mix of styles to serve this varied customer base, from Gujarati and Maharashtrian traditional designs to lighter, modern pieces favoured by younger working professionals. Silver anklets, bangles, toe rings and lightweight daily-wear jewellery remain especially popular across communities, and silver gifting is also common at business and corporate events given the territory's commercial character.

What this means for a buyer

Because Silvassa serves such a mixed customer base, it is worth being specific about the regional style you want when shopping, rather than assuming a shop's default stock reflects any single state's tradition.

The territory's gold retail is compact but genuine, concentrated in and around Silvassa.

The local market

• Silvassa's central market | a mix of independent jewellers serving the territory's diverse migrant and business population
• Cross-border shopping | many residents also shop in nearby Vapi (Gujarat) or across the Maharashtra border, given the short distances involved

What to check wherever you buy

• BIS hallmark with HUID on every piece
• The day's rate displayed and the making charge quoted as a percentage in writing
• A proper GST invoice carrying weight, purity, rate, making and HUID
• The buyback and exchange policy in writing before the sale, not after

Certified online retail adds transparent per-piece pricing, certification and doorstep insurance-backed delivery, and for lab grown diamond jewellery set in hallmarked gold it is often the most price-efficient route regardless of which regional style you prefer.

You have three honest routes and one to avoid.

Exchange at a jeweller. The most common local route. Hallmarked pieces are credited at the day's rate for their stamped purity; unhallmarked pieces are assayed first, and that deduction is where the negotiation happens.

Sale to the jeweller who sold it. If the piece carries the original invoice and HUID, most established Silvassa jewellers publish a buyback policy.

Organised gold buying companies. Present in Silvassa and easily accessible in nearby Vapi and other neighbouring towns for those who want outright cash.

Avoid unlicensed street buyers, whatever rate they promise. Weighing and purity testing you cannot observe is where sellers lose money.

Gold buying in the territory follows the national festive calendar closely, given its genuinely mixed population.

• Akshaya Tritiya | the biggest single gold buying day nationally, observed widely in Silvassa
• Dhanteras and Diwali | the national festive peak, when retail demand concentrates
• Wedding season | roughly November to February, when bridal sets dominate purchases
• Business and corporate gifting occasions | silver gifting products are commonly purchased around business events, given the territory's strong commercial character

Two practical notes. Festive days concentrate demand, so premiums and making charge discounts both move; the headline rate does not become cheaper because the day is auspicious. And for a wedding purchase planned months out, buying the metal in instalments converts an impossible timing decision into a simple averaging plan.

Taxes on gold are set nationally, so nothing here is specific to the territory, but three layers matter to every buyer.

At purchase. GST at 3 percent applies on the value of the metal plus making charges. On imported metal, customs duty and cess are already inside the quoted rate before GST is added.

At sale. Profit on physical gold held over the qualifying period is taxed as long term capital gains; shorter holdings are taxed at your slab rate. The invoice from your original purchase establishes the cost basis, which is one more reason to keep it.

Large cash purchases. PAN is mandatory above the prescribed transaction threshold, and jewellers report high value cash transactions. Paying digitally with a proper invoice is both cleaner and safer.

None of this is tax advice; thresholds and rates change with the Finance Act. For a large transaction, confirm the current rules with a chartered accountant before you buy or sell.

Gold is a store of value with no counterparty, which is why Indian households hold more of it than any other population on earth. That does not make it riskless. The rupee price swings, sometimes sharply, and long flat stretches have followed every major rally.

What gold does reliably is diversify. It tends to hold or gain value precisely when financial assets are under stress, which is the moment diversification is worth having. Most advisers land somewhere between 5 and 15 percent of a portfolio in gold, held for years rather than traded.

The form matters as much as the timing. Coins and bars carry minimal making cost and recover the most value on exit. Jewellery carries making charges you do not recover, so it is part ornament and part investment. Paper routes, gold ETFs and mutual funds, remove storage risk entirely and suit buyers whose objective is purely financial, including Silvassa's many salaried industrial and corporate employees.

For most households in the territory the practical answer is a mix: ornament gold and silver bought for weddings and gifting occasions, and simple, easily verified investment gold, coins or small bars, bought as savings.

Dadra and Nagar Haveli was administered as its own union territory until 26 January 2020, when it was merged with the neighbouring union territory of Daman and Diu to form the combined union territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, with Daman as the joint capital.

Despite sharing a single administration since the merger, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu remain geographically separate, and their gold markets are covered on their own dedicated pages given how different Silvassa's industrial economy is from Daman and Diu's coastal, tourism and Portuguese heritage driven trade.

Silvassa's industrial economy draws working professionals and business families from Gujarat, Maharashtra and nearby regions, giving the city's gold market a genuine mix of regional cultural preferences rather than a single dominant local tradition.

This diversity means Silvassa's jewellers stock a broader mix of regional gold jewellery styles than a comparably sized city with one dominant local culture might carry.

Wedding season demand for gold jewellery peaks in Silvassa alongside the broader national wedding calendar, drawing on the mixed Gujarati and Maharashtrian traditions of the city's migrant workforce.

Jewellers typically stock their widest bridal gold range in the weeks leading into this window, alongside their Dhanteras preparations earlier in the year.

Silvassa's manufacturing base in textiles, plastics, packaging, chemicals and electronics supports a genuinely stable, salaried customer base for the city's gold jewellers, distinct from the more seasonal, agriculturally linked demand seen in many other Indian regions.

This industrial backbone is part of why Silvassa carries a meaningfully larger gold jewellery retail presence than its geographic size alone might suggest.

Akshaya Tritiya, considered universally auspicious for buying gold, adds a further peak to Silvassa's calendar, with coin and small ornament sales rising in the days surrounding it.

Together with Dhanteras and wedding season, Akshaya Tritiya gives Silvassa's gold retailers multiple annual peaks to plan stock and staffing around.

As gold prices have climbed, a meaningful share of buyers here has shifted toward lighter weight pieces and more diamond or stone work relative to pure gold weight, following the same national pattern seen across India.

Silvassa's steady industrial income base means this shift shows up as design adjustment rather than buyers skipping wedding and festive purchases altogether.

Gold in India traded around 26,000 to 29,000 rupees per 10 grams in 2015 and 2016 for 24 karat purity, crossed 50,000 rupees per 10 grams in 2020, and reached around 62,000 to 65,000 rupees per 10 grams by 2023.

Gold's rise accelerated through 2024 and 2025, crossing 1,00,000 rupees per 10 grams during 2025. Silvassa's rates, priced off the national IBJA benchmark, have tracked this national curve throughout.

Gold demand is driven overwhelmingly by investment and central bank reserves rather than industrial use. Central banks worldwide, including the Reserve Bank of India, have been consistent net buyers in recent years.

India remains one of the world's largest gold consumers and imports the large majority of its requirement, making national import duty and policy a genuine influence on domestic prices, including in Silvassa.

Gold is generally less volatile than silver day to day, since it lacks silver's industrial demand component. Both metals have delivered strong returns over the last decade.

Equity markets have historically delivered higher long run returns than precious metals, but with far more volatility. Debt instruments give predictable, lower returns with minimal price risk.

In Silvassa, gold's role in a household's savings is usually a stable holding tied to weddings and gifting, backed by the steady incomes the city's industrial economy supports.

Physical gold from a Silvassa jeweller gives you something to hold, gift or wear, but attracts 3 percent GST, requires safe storage, and jewellery carries making charges not recovered on resale.

Gold ETFs let you hold gold electronically without storage or GST, through a regular demat account. The Sovereign Gold Bond scheme was discontinued for new issuance.

Both physical gold and gold ETFs are taxed the same way, at 12.5 percent on long term capital gains without indexation for holdings over 12 months.

India imports the large majority of the gold it consumes, cleared through customs before reaching refiners and jewellers, including the volumes distributed into Silvassa.

Gold has almost no industrial demand nationally, and despite Silvassa's own manufacturing base in textiles, plastics and electronics, none of that industrial activity consumes gold, so the local gold trade is driven entirely by retail jewellery, investment and the wedding calendar.

• 24 karat gold: 99.9 percent pure, used for coins and bars
• 22 karat or 916 gold: 91.6 percent pure, the traditional Indian jewellery standard
• Sona: the Hindi word for gold, commonly used in local searches; chandi means silver
• Making charges: the fee a jeweller adds for crafting a piece
• HUID: the unique six digit hallmark identification number
• IBJA: the India Bullion and Jewellers Association, source of the national reference rate

Gold retail in Dadra and Nagar Haveli is shaped almost entirely by Silvassa's industrial economy and the migrant workforce it draws from Gujarat and Maharashtra, rather than any single dominant local tradition.

This gives the territory's gold market a genuinely mixed cultural character, distinct from the coastal, Portuguese heritage shaped trade in neighbouring Daman and Diu.

Gold and property serve fundamentally different purposes. Property in Silvassa requires a large upfront commitment and is illiquid. Gold can be bought and sold in small increments and converted to cash within minutes.

Most households in Silvassa do not choose between the two. Property tends to serve as a long term family asset, while gold serves as a portable, liquid store of wealth for weddings and emergencies alike.

If you are in Silvassa and considering a gold or lab grown diamond jewellery purchase, Lucira offers hallmarked gold and certified lab grown diamond pieces with transparent, itemised pricing and doorstep delivery, so you can compare designs and pricing without needing to visit multiple local shops in person.

Every Lucira piece is priced against the live daily rate shown on this page, with making charges and certification costs shown separately.

A proper invoice from a Silvassa jeweller should show the net gold weight in grams, the karat purity, the rate applied per gram that day, the making charge, and GST at 3 percent applied on the metal plus making charge combined.

If a piece carries stones, the invoice should state the net gold weight separately from the gross weight. A hallmarked piece should also show the HUID number, verifiable through the BIS CARE app.

• A quoted rate below the day's published benchmark, which usually means lower purity than claimed
• Gross weight billed as if it were net gold weight on stone set pieces
• Making charges quoted verbally but not itemised on the final bill

Always confirm the current BIS hallmark and HUID independently through the BIS CARE app rather than taking a seller's word for it.

Gold does not tarnish, but secure storage still matters given its value density. A bank locker in Silvassa remains the most secure option for larger holdings.

A home safe is a reasonable middle ground for smaller quantities. Keep your original purchase invoice with your stored gold, since it establishes purity, weight and cost basis if you need to sell or claim insurance later.

Many jewellers in Silvassa offer monthly instalment schemes where you deposit a fixed amount each month for around 11 months, with a bonus instalment added at the end.

Before joining one, confirm in writing whether redemption is locked at deposit day rates or redemption day rates, and check whether the bonus is forfeited if you exit early.

Under rules applicable for financial year 2025 to 2026, profit on physical gold or gold ETFs held for more than 12 months is taxed as long term capital gains at 12.5 percent without indexation. Holdings sold within 12 months are taxed at your income tax slab rate.

Your gain is calculated as the sale price minus your original purchase cost, including making charges, which is why keeping your original invoice matters. Confirm current rules with a chartered accountant before a large sale.

There is no legal ceiling on gold ownership in India. CBDT safe harbour limits allow a married woman up to 500 grams, an unmarried woman up to 250 grams, and a man up to 100 grams without seizure during a tax search, even without documentation.

Cash payments for a single gold purchase above the prescribed threshold require your PAN card, and payments above two lakh rupees in cash for a single transaction are not permitted regardless of PAN.

For cash purchases above the prescribed threshold, you must furnish your PAN card. Always insist on a GST compliant invoice listing weight, purity, rate and making charge.

Payments above two lakh rupees in cash for a single transaction are not permitted regardless of PAN.

Gold jewellery typically attracts a melting or deduction charge at resale, so ask any Silvassa jeweller for their exact deduction policy in advance.

This deduction lowers the effective return on jewellery compared with reselling 24 karat coins or bars, which typically carry little to no deduction.

Several apps offer digital gold purchases that track the live rate without requiring physical storage, available in Silvassa the same as anywhere else in India.

Digital gold typically carries a small spread between buy and sell prices, and is best suited to buyers who want gold price exposure without visiting a jeweller.

Diamond studded gold jewellery should never be priced purely per gram of gross weight. Jewellers should weigh and price the gold separately from any diamonds or stones set into the piece.

Confirm net gold weight, diamond weight and diamond certification separately on the invoice before comparing rates across Silvassa jewellers.

• Jewellery from a Silvassa jeweller: wearable and giftable, but making charges reduce resale value
• 24 karat coins and bars: lowest making cost, best for pure savings
• Gold ETFs: no storage or GST, held in a demat account

Most households here use a mix, wedding and festive jewellery for cultural occasions, and coins, bars or ETFs for pure savings.
