Price of silver crosses Rs 3 lakh per kg while gold prices touched Rs 1.48 lakh
After 2025, the record-breaking surge in gold and silver prices continues into 2026. Rapidly escalating geopolitical tensions are driving a massive increase in demand for gold and silver, causing their prices to skyrocket. On Monday, gold and silver prices witnessed another sharp rise, setting new records once again. In the Delhi bullion market, silver prices reached ₹3,02,600 per kilogram, while gold also touched ₹1.48 lakh per 10 grams. With this, both gold and silver prices reached new all-time highs today.
Silver Price Crosses ₹3 Lakh Mark for the First Time
On Monday, silver prices in the Delhi bullion market saw a massive jump of ₹10,000, reaching ₹3,02,600 per kilogram. This is the first time silver prices have crossed the ₹3 lakh mark. Last week, on Friday, silver prices in the Delhi bullion market closed at ₹2,92,600 per kilogram. Bullion traders said that strong demand in both domestic and global markets led to the sharp increase in silver prices. Experts said that the continuous increase in demand for gold and silver, coupled with global economic uncertainties, is driving investors towards safe-haven assets, resulting in a continuous surge in the prices of both gold and silver.
Gold and Silver Prices Rising Much Faster Than Experts’ Predictions
Besides silver, gold prices also witnessed a sharp increase in the Delhi bullion market today. On Monday, the price of 99.9 percent pure gold in Delhi rose by ₹1900 to reach a new record level of ₹1.48 lakh per 10 grams. Last Friday, gold with 99.9 percent purity closed at ₹1,46,200 per 10 grams. Experts had predicted a moderate increase in gold and silver prices at the beginning of this year. However, the actual price increase has been several times faster than their predictions.
