On January 30, 2026, gold and silver prices experienced a slight decline in both India and the UAE, reflecting a short-term correction in global and domestic markets.
Gold prices in India fell on Friday, January 30, 2026, with 24-carat gold trading at ₹16,847 per gram or ₹168,470 per 10 grams.
22-carat gold was priced at ₹15,443 per gram, 20-carat at ₹14,039 per gram, and 18-carat at ₹12,635 per gram. Silver also saw a decline, trading at ₹388,140 per kilogram, down by 3.57% from the previous session.
In the UAE, gold prices mirrored the downward trend seen in India. 24-carat gold traded at AED 628.25 per gram, slightly lower than yesterday’s AED 629.25. 22-carat gold was at AED 581.75 per gram, 21-carat at AED 557.75, 18-carat at AED 478, and 14-carat at AED 373.
Comparing prices, gold in India remains costlier in local currency terms than in the UAE, partly due to import duties, taxes, and currency conversion factors. For example, 24-carat gold is ₹168,470 per 10 grams in India versus AED 628.25 per gram in the UAE (~₹14,710 per 10 grams at current exchange rates). Despite the global alignment in trends, domestic premiums and local demand factors keep Indian gold prices higher.
