On April 14, 2026, gold prices in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, saw a nearly 1% increase from the previous day, aligning with national trends. The price for 24K gold was approximately ₹15,404 per gram, while 22K gold was priced between ₹14,110 and ₹14,220 per gram. This rise in prices is attributed to increased demand ahead of the festive occasion of Akshaya Tritiya on April 19, which traditionally sees a spike in gold purchases. Leading jewellery retailers in Chennai, including GRT Jewellers and Tanishq, have reported these updated prices. Tanishq's prices for 22K gold were noted at ₹14,150 per gram, reflecting a rise from ₹13,975 the previous day. The Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) was closed on this day due to Ambedkar Jayanti, meaning live trading rates were unavailable, but the last closing levels indicated gold hovering near the ₹1.5 lakh mark per 10 grams.
