Gold prices rose across most Indian cities on Wednesday, 30 September, after declines the previous day, multiple outlets reported. The Economic Times said the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA) rates for 24K, 22K, 20K, 18K and 14K gold and 999-purity silver rose compared with 29 September. Tanishq's 22k gold was at Rs 13,755 per gram on 30 September, up from Rs 13,710 on 29 September, while Malabar Gold & Diamonds, Joyalukkas and Kalyan Jewellers quoted Rs 13,710 per gram, up from Rs 13,640, the Economic Times added.

Times Now reported that gold prices gained 0.6 percent on the Multi Commodity Exchange and opened at Rs 1.47 lakh per 10 grams on 30 September, but global gold rates fell and were headed for a monthly loss. Livemint noted that spot gold was down 0.2% at $4,170.63 per ounce, losing more than 6% in September 2026. On 29 September, The Hindu Business Line had reported declines across metros, with 22-carat gold in Delhi at Rs 13,765 per gram, down by Rs 100.
Update, 1 October 2026: New sources from The Hindu Business Line and Times Now on 30 September and 1 October confirm the 30 September rise. The Hindu Business Line reported 22-carat gold in Delhi at Rs 13,810 per gram, up by Rs 45, and in Mumbai at Rs 13,760 per gram, up by Rs 45. Times Now on 1 October reported gold opened at Rs 1.46 lakh per 10 grams on MCX, up 0.65 percent.
The Economic Times, Livemint and Times Now all reported the same basic facts: gold rose in India on 30 September after falling on 29 September, while global prices dipped. The outlets differed only in presentation: Times Now and Livemint foregrounded the global decline and monthly loss, while the Economic Times led with the IBJA increase and jeweller rates. The Hindu Business Line on 30 September confirmed the rise across cities with per-gram data. The coverage was uniform straight reporting across all sources, with no slant beyond normal news judgement. The next data point to watch is the US inflation data that investors await for clues on the Federal Reserve's policy, which Times Now and Livemint both flagged.
