Gold crosses ₹1.02 lakh in India: What's driving the surge

Business

Gold just hit a new record in India—crossing ₹1.02 lakh for 10gm, with Delhi and Hyderabad leading the jump.
Prices have been climbing, even though global gold rates aren't at their peak.

Demand for gold is strong, pushing prices higher. A weaker rupee means importing gold costs more, adding to the surge.
