The local market
Chennai is India's biggest gold-jewellery retail market — the showrooms along T. Nagar's Usman Road sell more gold than some entire states. Tamil Nadu's deep-rooted preference for 22 carat wedding jewellery keeps local demand, and often the local premium, strong year-round. Akshaya Tritiya and the Tamil wedding calendar drive the year's heaviest buying, and the 916-hallmark rate is the one most Chennai buyers track.
Buying gold in Chennai
Check the day's benchmark above before you negotiate, insist on BIS-hallmarked 916 (22K) or 999 (24K) pieces, and compare making charges across T. Nagar (Usman Road) and the national chains — coins and bars usually carry lower charges than jewellery.
