Gold remains deeply rooted in Indian culture while also serving as a popular investment choice. On January 22, 2026, noticeable price differences were seen between Dubai and key Indian cities such as Chennai, Mumbai, and New Delhi for both 22K and 24K gold. These disparities largely stem from movements in currency exchange rates, variations in local demand, and differences in taxation and import duty structures.
