Gold prices rose across India on August 21, 2026, with 24-karat gold at Rs 15,928 per gram in most cities, according to timesnownews.com. The Economic Times reports Tanishq priced 22k gold at Rs 14,755 per gram, up Rs 110 from the previous day. On the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold futures opened 0.5% higher at Rs 1.60 lakh per 10 grams, after hitting a three-month high of Rs 1.62 lakh in the previous session.
Times Now lists 22k gold at Rs 14,601 per gram and 18k at Rs 11,947 in cities including Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata. Delhi saw the highest rates at Rs 15,943 for 24k and Rs 14,616 for 22k. The IBJA reported its indicative retail selling rate for 999-purity gold at Rs 15,708 per gram as of August 20. Silver was at Rs 2,37,766 per kg. Rates from major brands such as Tanishq and Malabar Gold & Diamonds may vary by state, tax structure, and making charges.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources are straight wire-style updates of daily gold and silver rates. There is no pro-government, critical, or ideological slant: neither outlet opines on policy, market causes, or fiscal implications. The Economic Times leans on brand-specific jeweller rates (Tanishq, Malabar, Joyalukkas, Kalyan) and IBJA bullion benchmarks, giving a business-to-business feel. Times Now gives a city-wise price table from goodreturns.in and highlights the fresh three-month high on MCX, aiming at retail readers. Neither source explains why prices rose or what may come next. For a careful reader, the price variance between outlets (22k gold differs by Rs 154 per gram) is important: the quoted rates depend on data vendor, jeweller margin, GST, and making charges, so a single 'gold rate' does not exist.
