Gold recovered from a lower morning reading in IBJA’s 6 October 2026 benchmark. The association’s dated table shows gold of 999 purity at ₹148,473 per 10 grams in the PM column, compared with ₹147,278 in the AM column. The afternoon increase was ₹1,195.
Daily change is smaller than the afternoon rebound
October 5’s PM gold-999 benchmark was ₹148,198. Comparing PM with PM gives an increase of ₹275, or approximately 0.19%, calculated by CapKet. The larger AM-to-PM movement should not be presented as the previous-day gain.
| Purity | October 6 PM, per 10g |
|---|---|
| 999 | ₹148,473 |
| 995 | ₹147,879 |
| 916 | ₹136,001 |
What a buyer can compare
A 999 specification denotes 99.9% purity. Use the matching purity column when comparing a bullion benchmark with a quoted product.
The 916 rate is ₹12,472 below the 999 rate for the same weight. That reflects different purity specifications, not a discount on identical metal. IBJA states that its benchmark rates exclude GST and making charges. Jewellery, coins and bars can also have different product premiums; ask the seller for an itemised quotation rather than treating the table as a final checkout price.
No cause for the price movement, city-specific retail offer or October 7 benchmark has been verified here. The website’s live clock must not be mistaken for the date of its price table.
