Bullion breaks records: Silver hits Rs 1.04 lakh/kg in Delhi; gold gains Rs 430 as global momentum builds
Gold and silver rate today: Silver surged to a record high of Rs 1,04,100 per kg in Delhi markets on Thursday, while gold prices also firmed up sharply, driven by strong global cues and a weaker dollar. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to the All India Sarafa Association, silver prices continued their rally for the fourth straight session, jumping Rs 2,000 to scale a lifetime peak. The quoted price is inclusive of all taxes, PTI reported. 'The price of silver reached a new all-time high in the domestic market. The rally is supported by strong fundamentals, higher industrial demand, inflation hedging, and tight global supply,' said Saumil Gandhi, Senior Analyst of Commodities at HDFC Securities. The previous all-time high for silver was Rs 1,03,500 per kg, recorded on March 19. Gold also saw firm upward movement. The price of gold of 99.9% purity rose Rs 430 to Rs 99,690 per 10 grams, while gold of 99.5% purity gained Rs 400 to Rs 99,100 per 10 grams, both inclusive of all taxes. Silver futures for July delivery rallied by Rs 3,833, or 3.78%, to touch a lifetime high of Rs 1,05,213 per kg on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX). Looking ahead, Rahul Kalantri, Vice President (Commodities) at Mehta Equities, said the metal could climb further. 'The metal might reach around Rs 1,14,000 to Rs 1,20,000 per kg by this Diwali, but investors should brace for a bumpy ride ahead as market volatility remains high amid global uncertainties,' he said. Gold futures for the August contract also gained Rs 635 to reach Rs 99,214 per 10 grams. 'Gold prices traded higher, supported by a weaker dollar and renewed safe-haven demand amid lingering tariff uncertainty and US debt concerns,' said Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst, Commodity and Currency at LKP Securities. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He noted that global gold prices had scaled above $3,395 per ounce, while MCX gold traded above Rs 98,450. Spot gold in international markets rose by $21.58, or 0.64%, to $3,393.93 per ounce. Spot silver jumped nearly 4% to $35.80 per ounce. 'Spot silver has surpassed the previous resistance level of $35 per ounce and is trading above that mark, reaching a 12-year high,' added Gandhi. Chintan Mehta, CEO of Abans Financial Services, said investor focus is now on the upcoming US non-farm payroll report, which may offer cues on the Federal Reserve's next move. 'Any new geopolitical developments could add another layer of uncertainty, once again driving investors toward the safe haven of gold,' he added.

This auto driver earns Rs 30K a day– without driving a single kilometre; here's how
Outside Mumbai's US Consulate, where visa applicants face long lines, tight security, and strict rules, one issue keeps causing stress: what to do with their bags. Since the consulate doesn't allow bags inside and there's no official locker facility, many people are left scrambling for a solution just before their interview. But every day, near the entrance, there's a man quietly offering help. He doesn't drive anyone anywhere, but he's found a simple way to earn a steady income– without even starting his auto. The service that starts with 'bag de do' What looks like just another autorickshaw parked near the consulate is actually part of a clever little service. The driver, who likes to keep things low-key, offers to hold on to people's bags while they go in for their visa appointments. 'Sir, bag de do. Safe rakhunga, mera roz ka kaam hai. Rs 1,000 charge hai,' he tells confused applicants, many of whom have no other choice at that moment. This isn't just a one-time favour– it's a full-time business. Every day, the driver stores bags for around 20 to 30 people. At Rs 1,000 per person, that adds up to a daily income of Rs 20,000 to Rs 30,000. From auto stand to storage hub The process is simple. The autorickshaw is just the starting point. Once someone agrees to hand over their bag, it's not kept in the vehicle– instead, it's taken to a secure location. This spot is reportedly managed with help from a local police officer who provides access to a nearby storage space. There's no online booking, no receipts, and no formal customer service. Still, the service runs smoothly, thanks to routine, reliability, and word-of-mouth. An informal setup, built on trust What makes this setup work is its simplicity– and the trust it has earned over time. Many regular visitors now rely on it without hesitation. Rahul Rupani, one such visitor, shared his experience on LinkedIn. Caught off guard by the no-bag policy, he was unsure of what to do until the auto driver stepped in to offer help. Rupani noted in his post, 'He has created a model built entirely on trust. With no app, no office, and no MBA degree, he earns with just his street smartness and a deep understanding of people.' Online buzz and divided opinions The story has stirred a lot of discussion on social media. While some people praised the autorickshaw driver for finding a smart and practical solution to a common problem, others questioned how safe or legal such unregulated services are, especially around high-security areas like embassies. One LinkedIn user commented, 'Your post has busted his business, income, identity, reg. no…. besides celebrating a jugaad, IT evasion, and exposes an unholy nexus.' Another shared a similar experience, writing, 'Exactly experienced the same last week in Delhi US Embassy where they are using their best of mind to solve a Big problem out and charging hefty from the applicants. Still at the end of they come as saviours. '

Karnataka home department to procure fuel worth Rs 11crore without tender
Bengaluru: To operate over 2,000 vehicles of the fire and emergency services department, as well as vehicles from home guards and civil defence departments, the govt recently gave exemption to the home department to procure the required fuel for one year through petrocard system. According to the notification issued by the finance department on May 27, the govt exempted the home department from tendering to buy Rs 2 crore worth of fuel from Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL). In another notification issued the same day, an exemption was given from tendering to purchase Rs 9 crore worth of fuel, lubricants and other items from HPCL. According to the notifications, a 4(g) exemption was provided under Karnataka Transparency in Public Procurement (KTPP) Act. This exemption allows the home department to directly procure fuel without going through the tender process. However, a condition was placed on the department to ensure quality services at an appropriate price. According to sources, the home department recently requested the finance department for an exemption from the tender process. The fire and emergency services department has over 2,000 vehicles, including fire-fighting vehicles, two-wheelers, and four-wheelers. Home guards department has more than 500 vehicles.
