Gold Rate Today in Telugu States (Feb 14, 2026)
Local traders in Hyderabad and Vijayawada reported heavy activity despite the price hike, attributed to the ongoing wedding season and Valentine’s Day demand.
| Purity | Price (Per 10 Grams) | Change |
| 22-Carat Gold | ₹1,44,600 | ↑ ₹1,800 |
| 24-Carat Gold | ₹1,57,750 | ↑ ₹1,970 |
| Silver (Per KG) | ₹2,80,000 | Stable |
Why are Gold Prices Rising?
Market analysts point to several macro-economic triggers for this February 2026 surge:
-
Geopolitical Uncertainty: Ongoing global tensions have pushed investors toward “safe-haven” assets.
-
Central Bank Activity: Aggressive gold accumulation by global central banks continues to provide a price floor.
-
Currency Fluctuations: The USD-INR exchange rate remains a key driver for domestic landing costs in India
-
Seasonal Demand: In the Telugu states, the combination of festive dates and the heavy wedding calendar often results in local premiums over national benchmarks.
Silver Market Stability
While gold took the spotlight, silver prices remained steady at ₹2,80,000 per kilogram. In cities like Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, and Vijayawada, silver demand is increasingly driven by industrial applications in the tech sector, balancing out the speculative volatility seen in gold.
Expert Advice for Investors
With 24-carat gold hovering between ₹1,55,000 and ₹1,58,000 nationally, experts suggest that buyers monitor live MCX (Multi Commodity Exchange) updates. Local prices can vary slightly due to:
-
Making Charges: Often ranging from 5% to 20% depending on the jeweler.
-
GST: A flat 3% is applicable on the final value.
-
Hallmarking Fees: Always ensure your purchase is BIS-hallmarked for purity assurance.
Note: Real-time rates may vary by jeweler (e.g., Tanishq, Malabar Gold, Joyalukkas) and specific city associations.
