ounce1.
Gold prices in India are quoted in Indian Rupees (INR) and can also be
converted into other currencies.
India is one of the largest consumers of gold in the world and has a strong
cultural and religious affinity for the metal.
Gold prices are also affected by the performance of other precious metals such
as silver and palladium, as well as the prices of crude oil, stock exchange
indices, bonds, and currency exchange rates.
Gold is distributed throughout Southeast Asia in igneous and metamorphic hard rock deposits and in sedimentary placer deposits. Some of the gold producing regions include the Philippines, Sumatra, Borneo, Timor, Malaysia, Thailand, Burma, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Gold first appears in the archaeological record in 400 BCE, at about the same time as iron, semiprecious stone polishing and glass working, suggesting that the techniques of gold extraction and working were introduced to Southeast Asia via Indian and/or Chinese merchants seeking gold ores .
