International gold price in US dollars (COMEX futures close; London fix before 30 Aug 2000), converted at that day's exchange rate. This is the value of the metal before import duty, 3% GST, dealer premiums and making charges.

Not estimated before August 2013, when the duty worked differently. When a festival fell on a weekend or holiday, the last close before it is used. Dates link to that month's daily prices.

The first column is the international gold price converted at that day's exchange rate: the value of the metal itself. The "India est." column adds the import duty in force on that day and GST (3% since July 2017, about 1% VAT before), which is roughly what a buyer paid for pure gold before making charges. Rates published by jewellers' associations (such as IBJA) are usually quoted before the 3% GST, so they are about 3% lower.
