Recent Trend
- During the month of November 2025, the rate for 1 kg has moved from about ₹1,50,500 to ~₹1,69,000.
- For example, on 14 Nov the rate was ~₹1,73,100 per kg and on 1 Nov around ₹1,52,000 per kg.
- The broader Indian market data shows per kg of 999-fine silver at ~₹155,530 with a daily change of -4.27% (for one source) on 16 Nov.
Thus, silver in Kolkata is showing an upward trend over the month, although short-term day-to-day changes may be modest or flat.
What’s Driving the Price?
Several key factors contribute:
- Global silver market & international spot rates
Silver, like gold and other precious metals, is sensitive to changes in the global commodity market, the US dollar strength, interest-rate expectations, etc. - Regional supply, demand & local premiums
In Kolkata, silver is used for jewellery, coins, bars (both investment and industrial uses). Local demand and supply logistics influence the final retail/wholesale price. - Purity and form of silver
“999 fine” (99.9 % pure) silver will command a different price than lower purity alloys or silver-ware. Retail rates often quote 999-fine bars or coins. - Festive and cultural buying cycles
In India generally, precious metals see greater demand around festivals, weddings and auspicious occasions, which can push premiums and rates locally. - Industrial demand
Silver has industrial uses (electronics, photo-voltaics, etc.). While jewellery dominates retail demand, industrial consumption also nudges pricing.
What Should Buyers/Investors Know?
- If you’re purchasing silver jewellery or coins in Kolkata, check the purity, making charges, seller’s authenticity, and whether the quoted price refers to 999-fine or lower purity.
- For investment bars/coins, track the rate per gram/gramme or kilogram for your city (as we did above) and compare to national/MCX futures for context.
- For short-term timing: If you notice global cues like a strong US dollar, rising interest rates, or slack in demand, silver rates could stagnate or dip.
- Longer-term: A steadily rising monthly trend may signal accumulation or strong demand; but premiums over spot can vary regionally, so localisation matters.
- Always treat quote rates as indicative — local shop rates may include transport, storage, local tax or premium differences.
Summary
In Kolkata today, silver is trading at approximately ₹ 169 per gram (≈ ₹ 1,69,000 per kilogram). The rate has been rising over recent weeks though day-to-day changes may be small. Influences include global metal markets, Indian demand (both jewellery and industrial), and local retail premiums.
If you plan to buy in Kolkata, keep tabs on purity, local quotes and timing relative to broader market movements.
