International relations

As India is one of the largest consumer of the Gold in the world and India has very less production of gold. India’s demand can only be fulfilled by the international market. Any change in international relations could change the gold rate.

The US dollar plays an important role in determining international gold rates. If dollar become stronger than rupee gold rate will increase in India. Similarly, If dollar became weak against rupee, gold price decreases in India.
Market conditions

Gold is inversely proportional to market performance, rate of the gold always increase if there is a downfall in the market.
Government taxes and duties

The government imposes taxes and import duty on number of commodities, including gold. Any increase in these taxes automatically increases the gold rates.
