Where our rates come from
How often we update
Metal rates refresh daily, with a visible "Updated [time, date]" stamp on every page. Fuel updates when oil companies revise prices; if a price is unchanged, we say so rather than fake movement.
Who's behind RatesToday
RatesToday is a small, independent site, edited by Indu, who works with pricing and market data every day. It began simply — a habit of checking rates that slowly turned into something worth sharing.
Gold doesn't stop at a border, and neither do the people who follow it. The same price matters in two places at once — to someone buying at home in India, and to someone in the Gulf watching the market back home before they next travel. RatesToday is built for both, with Indian and Gulf prices in one place and the context that connects them: what a Dubai rate really means once duty is paid, when a gold loan beats selling, what you actually pay once making charges are in.
The numbers follow IBJA benchmarks and local jeweller prices. The explainers lean on people who know the ground — a retired banker with a long career in the sector, jewellers we know personally who handle gold every day, and a careful read from someone with experience in financial services.
No tips, no hype, no pressure to buy or sell — just the rate, and an honest sense of what it means for you.
