How gold prices determined in India?
It is worth noting that if the rupee slides against the dollar, gold prices in India per gram becomes expensive. Demand plays an important role in determining the gold rates today per gram in India. If the demand is not robust prices would fall.

On the other hand, in times of good demand prices of gold would gain. Not many know, but interest rate is a major factor that impact gold prices in India. When interest rates in major countries like the US go higher, gold rates fall and when they fall gold rates go higher.
