One should know that India isn’t a producer of gold but a consumer. This implies that the country doesn’t mine gold and relies heavily on imports to meet existing gold demand. Gold rate is decided by the London bullion association and IBA publishes the gold prices in US dollars which serves as a benchmark worldwide for bankers and bullion traders.
In India, the Indian Bullion Jewellers Association (IBJA) plays a key role in determining day to day gold rates in Delhi or in the country as a whole. Gold in India is primarily imported by banks who in turn supply this to bullion dealers across India after adding their fee to it. IBJA takes the average of buy and sell quotes, and adjusts by adding local taxes to determine the gold rate in Delhi.
