Gold rate in Karachi today
On 9 August 2026, the gold rate in Karachi is Rs 459,400 per tola for 24K and Rs 421,100 per tola for 22K, which is Rs 36,106 per gram. Karachi trades in Sarafa Bazaar, Bolton Market (Kharadar), and rates are published locally by the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association (APSGJA). This is the market that sets the national benchmark.
The Karachi market
Karachi is not just another city rate — it is the rate. The Sarafa Bazaar around Bolton Market and Kharadar is where the daily Pakistani gold price is set, and the figure the APSGJA announces from Karachi is the number every other city board copies within the hour.
That is a consequence of trade geography. Gold enters Pakistan overwhelmingly through Karachi, so importers, wholesalers and the largest bullion dealers all sit within a few streets of each other. Price discovery happens where the metal lands, and everything upcountry is that price plus the cost of moving it.
Karachi's own retail market is unusually wide. Kharadar and Bolton Market quote close to the board because they are wholesale-adjacent, while Tariq Road, Gulshan and Clifton showrooms carry higher making charges for the same 22K metal.
Buying in Karachi
In Karachi the metal price is rarely the negotiation — making charges (banwai) are. Ask for the rate, the karat, the weight and the making charge as four separate numbers before anything is weighed, and ask whether the making charge is per tola or a percentage.

The metal rate is the same board rate. Kharadar is usually cheaper overall because making charges near the wholesale market are lower than in large branded showrooms.
