Notably, factors such as state taxes, excise duty, and making charges lead to changes in the price of gold in India.

Gold prices fell for a sixth straight session on Monday to hit their lowest in more than three weeks, weighed down by a robust dollar and expectations of further interest rate hikes from the US Federal Reserve to tame surging inflation.

Spot gold was down 0.1 per cent at $1,746.06 per ounce, as of 0131 GMT, after hitting its lowest since July 28 at $1,743.83 in early Asian trading. The metal lost nearly 3 per ent last week. The US gold futures eased 0.2 per cent to $1,758.80.
