Today’s Silver Rate in Mumbai (December 9, 2025)
Silver rates today in Mumbai are: Silver 10g: Rs 1,899, Silver 100g: Rs 18,890, and Silver 1kg: Rs 1,88,900. These rates change every day. In Mumbai, people buy and sell silver for jewelry, utensils, and sometimes as an investment.
Silver is cheaper than gold, so many people prefer it for regular use. It’s easy to find silver shops in areas like Zaveri Bazaar, Andheri, and Bandra. Some people also buy silver coins during festivals like Diwali and Akshaya Tritiya. In Mumbai, silver sales go up a bit during wedding season and special events.
Don’t expect the price to stay the same each day. The rates go up and down because of world prices, the Indian rupee’s value, and taxes. Even the time of day or demand in local markets can make a small difference. It’s always good to check the rates before buying, either online or in trusted local shops.
Also, when you buy silver, look for the correct weight and make sure it is pure. 92.5% purity is standard for jewellery. For bigger amounts, ask for a bill and check the shop’s reputation.
Unlike gold, where most people check 10 gram rates, silver is bought in more flexible quantities. Families often buy 100g bars or 1kg coins to save for the future. Silver is not just for investment; it is common in Mumbai houses for pooja and kitchen items.
Buying silver in Mumbai is simple, but always be careful and compare prices. Some extra charges like GST may apply. So, check everything before you pay.
