About GoldNexa

What GoldNexa is

GoldNexa (goldnexa.live) is a free tool for tracking the latest gold, silver and platinum prices in India — with real charts, calculators and plain-English guides.

It started from a simple frustration: checking today's gold rate in India usually means landing on a cluttered page, unsure whether the number is current or hours old, or where it even came from. We wanted one clean place that shows the current rate, updates through the day, and is honest about how the figure is worked out.

Today the site offers current 24K, 22K and 18K gold rates, silver and platinum prices, a real 10-year price chart, a gold value calculator, a news feed, a market assistant that answers questions using the current rates, and a directory of real jewellers near you.

It is built for everyday buyers and savers — someone comparing today's rate before visiting a jeweller, a family planning a wedding purchase, or anyone keeping an eye on precious-metal prices. It is not a trading terminal, and we don't sell gold.

What we do — and don't do

Who operates GoldNexa

GoldNexa is an independent precious-metals market information and tools platform, operated by its owner as a self-funded project. It is not a broker, dealer, exchange or financial institution, and it is not affiliated with any jeweller.

The site is free to use. To cover the cost of servers and data feeds, we display advertising. Ads never change the prices we show or the order of jeweller listings — see our Privacy Policy for how advertising and cookies work.

Where our data comes from

We believe you should know the source of any number you're shown. GoldNexa aggregates data from established third-party providers rather than inventing prices:

• Gold spot price — from a precious-metals price API, cross-checked against a second independent source so a single bad reading can't silently skew the rate.
• Silver, platinum & palladium — spot prices converted to Indian rupees.
• USD/INR exchange rate — an hourly-refreshed foreign-exchange feed, with a public central-bank rate as a fallback.
• Gold & silver news — headlines from a market-news provider, always attributed to the original source.
• Nearby jewellers — real shops and locations from OpenStreetMap, an open, community-maintained map database. Genuine listings, not paid placements.

How we calculate the rate you see

International markets quote gold in US dollars per troy ounce. Two things sit between that number and the Indian rate:

1. Currency conversion. The spot price is converted into rupees at the current USD/INR rate, then to a per-gram figure.
2. India import duty. India levies an import duty on gold and silver, so the Indian reference rate sits above the bare international price; we apply a calibrated duty-and-premium adjustment so our rate lines up with published Indian reference rates.

GST and a jeweller's making charges are separate — they're added at the shop, which is why our gold calculator lets you add them yourself. The full chain, with providers and formulas, is documented on the Data Sources & Methodology page.

Our commitment to honest numbers

• No made-up data. Where we don't have a real figure, we say so.
• Cross-checking. The gold price is compared across two independent sources.
• City variation is estimated. City-to-city differences are indicative estimates of local premiums, not a separate feed for each city.
• Transparency about limits. Prices can be delayed, and no aggregated figure will match every local jeweller to the rupee. Always confirm before you transact.
