Gold rate today in Uttarakhand
The 24 carat gold rate in Uttarakhand is ₹ 134,634 per 10 grams and ₹ 13,463 per gram at the state benchmark. 916 (22 carat), the grade most jewellery is made from, is ₹ 123,414 per 10 grams.
In pavan terms — the unit most of southern India actually buys in — one pavan of 916 gold is ₹ 98,731 and one pavan of 24 carat is ₹ 107,707. A pavan is 8 grams.
The Uttarakhand gold market
Dehradun anchors the state trade and supplies the surrounding hill districts, where retail density drops sharply and spreads widen accordingly.
The wedding season and the Char Dham pilgrimage calendar both lift demand, the latter driving gifting and offering purchases.
Buying gold in Uttarakhand
In the hill towns, verify hallmarking carefully — organised retail thins out quickly outside Dehradun.
Beyond that, the same four questions apply anywhere: the metal rate for the exact karat, the making charge, the wastage percentage, and the tax — each as its own number. A single all-in price cannot be compared against anything.
The background, in one place
- How gold rates are decided — spot, exchange rate, import parity and premium, with live numbers at each step.
- 22K vs 24K — every lower grade is a fixed fraction of the 24 carat price, and the guide shows the arithmetic.
- What 916 means and what a pavan is — the two terms this market trades in.
- Making charges and wastage — where two quotes on the same rate actually diverge.
- Verifying a hallmark — what the stamps guarantee, and what they do not.
