Gold Near ₹1.5 Lakh Mark:Gold and silver prices in India have surged sharply, which leads to both renewed investor interest and market confusion. The gold price reached ₹1.48 lakh per 10 grams on March 30, 2026 while silver reached above ₹2.28 lakh per kg on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), which showed strong bullish market movement for both precious metals.
The current market situation approaches all-time high prices, which creates a major choice point about whether to make immediate investments or to hold off until market downturns happen.

Gold Near ₹1.5 Lakh Mark
- 24K gold: ~₹1.46 lakh per 10 grams
- Silver: ~₹2.27 lakh per kg
The situation shows a consistent return to normal after the market experienced its earlier March disturbances. Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, explained, “MCX Gold opened with a mild gap up and is currently trading above Rs 1,46,000 support band, indicating underlying buying interest at this level despite some intraday volatility.”
He added that the broader trend remains cautious but steady. “On the upside, the Rs 1,49,000–Rs 1,50,000 zone remains the immediate resistance area. A sustained move above this level would strengthen bullish momentum and may open the path toward Rs 1,53,000, with further upside potential toward Rs 1,58,000.”
