Gold Holds Steady, Silver Slides: October 25 Rates Across Major Indian Cities

Gold Steady, Silver Softens: Precious Metal Trends Across India on October 25

As India enters the festive season, gold prices held firm while silver witnessed a minor correction on October 25, 2025. According to market data, 24-karat gold was priced at ₹12,436 per gram across most cities, with Delhi recording a marginal uptick to ₹12,451. Meanwhile, silver dipped ₹100 to settle at ₹1,54,900 per kilogram.

The stability in gold rates comes after weeks of record highs, driven by global uncertainty and strong domestic demand. However, recent profit-taking and easing inflation data in the U.S. have led to a cooling-off in international prices, influencing Indian markets.

Despite the slight dip in silver, both metals continue to play a vital role in investment portfolios and cultural traditions, especially during festivals like Dussehra and Diwali.
