Tue Apr 22 10:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Gold Prices Surge Past ₹1 Lakh Per 10 Grams in Delhi

**New Delhi, April 22, 2025** – Gold prices soared past ₹1 lakh per 10 grams in Delhi today, marking a significant increase. The price of 24-carat gold jumped by ₹1,650 per 10 grams, reaching ₹99,800 before GST, which pushed the price over the ₹1 lakh mark. This surge follows a three-year low in the gold index, providing unexpected support to the precious metal. Gold futures on the MCX commodity exchange also crossed the ₹1 lakh threshold. Experts predict that this upward trend is likely to continue.

The article also explores various investment options for those looking to capitalize on the rising gold prices. These include:

* **Gold ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds):** These track the price of physical gold, offering liquidity and ease of access through stock exchanges. However, their value fluctuates with gold prices.

* **Gold Mutual Funds:** These invest in gold ETFs, offering potential for higher returns than simply holding gold due to active management. Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) are available, making it easier to invest over time.

* **Physical Gold:** Traditional investment in gold jewellery, coins, and bars remains popular, particularly for gifting, but presents challenges in terms of security and storage.

* **Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs):** While SGBs offer a government-backed investment option, the article notes that the government has not issued new tranches since February of the previous year, limiting purchase options to the secondary market via stock exchanges. These require a demat account.

With the ongoing price surge and various investment avenues available, investors are encouraged to carefully consider their options based on their risk tolerance and investment goals.
