How is the gold price in Vadodara calculated
The price you see at a Vadodara jewellery shop is not just one simple number. It is built up in small steps, starting from the price of gold around the world. Here is how it happens:
- Start with the world price: Gold is bought and sold around the world in US dollars. This is the starting point.
- Change dollars to rupees: The dollar price is turned into rupees. If the rupee gets weaker, the price in rupees goes up, even before anything else is added.
- Break it down into grams and check purity: The price is worked out for one gram of gold. Then it is adjusted for how pure the gold is. 24K gold is 99.9% pure. 22K gold is 91.6% pure.
- Add import charges: Most of India's gold comes from other countries. So a charge is added for bringing it into India.
- Add GST: A 3% tax (called GST) is added on the gold. A 5% tax is added on the making charges.
- Add the shop's making charge and profit: The final price also includes the cost of turning gold into jewellery, plus the shop's profit.
Most shops and lenders in Vadodara use the same daily gold price list from IBJA for the first three steps. That is why prices are usually similar across shops in the city on the same day. The last two steps, making charges and profit, are where prices can be different from shop to shop.

Impact of gold rates on gold loans in Vadodara
This is the part that matters most if you are considering a gold loan: the applicable gold rate on the day your gold is assessed decides your loan amount, not last month's rate or what you originally paid for the gold. A higher gold rate today means a higher loan amount against the same gold. A lower gold rate means a lower eligible loan amount.
What decides your eligible loan amount?
Gold loan eligibility depends on:
- How much does your gold weigh
- How pure it is
- Applicable gold price
- The Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio
Stones, enamel, or any decoration on your jewellery does not count towards your loan value. Only the actual gold content is assessed.
Bajaj Finance considers the lower of the previous day's closing price or the 30-day average closing price published by IBJA or a SEBI-regulated commodity exchange to evaluate the loan amount against your gold jewellery, ornaments, or coins. The maximum LTV eligible depends on the loan amount and must remain within the applicable limits. To know more, click here.
