India vs Dubai Gold Price Comparison

A direct comparison shows that gold continues to be cheaper in Dubai than in India. Indian gold prices include higher import duties, GST, and local levies, which significantly raise retail prices. In Dubai, lower taxes and minimal duties help keep gold rates competitive. This price gap is especially noticeable in higher purity gold like 24 karat and 22 karat, which are commonly preferred by Indian buyers.
