Where to buy silver in Chennai
The silver trade in Chennai sits in NSC Bose Road and T. Nagar. T. Nagar’s Panagal Park stretch is among the highest-turnover jewellery retail streets in India.
Jewellery houses founded in Chennai or elsewhere in Tamil Nadu include GRT Jewellers, Lalitha Jewellery, NAC Jewellers and Prince Jewellery. A chain’s own board rate is its rate, not the benchmark: it already carries the house’s premium and it is the making charge underneath, not the headline, that decides what the piece costs.
Silver in the south goes into temple articles, lamps and gifting rather than into investment bar. The labour on those is a large share of the bill, so the metal rate is only the starting point.

Hallmarking centres in Chennai
Chennai has 33 operative BIS-recognised assaying and hallmarking centres, which places it 5th of the fifty cities on this site. That is one of the deepest concentrations in the country and it is the reason a second opinion on purity is easy to get here: Chennai alone holds 2.4% of every operative centre in India. Hallmarking is compulsory on gold jewellery, and the mark carries a six-digit HUID that can be checked against the BIS register before money changes hands. Every centre below is named in that register.

Common questions
What is the silver rate in Chennai today?
Silver of 999 fineness is ₹2,21,109 a kilogram, or ₹221 a gram, on the IBJA fix of 9 Oct 2026, before 3% GST.
What does 100 grams of silver cost in Chennai?
100 grams of 999 silver is ₹22,111 at the fix, or ₹22,774 with GST added.
Why is the making charge higher on silver than on gold?
It is not higher in rupees. It is higher as a share of the bill, because the labour on a silver article costs much the same as on a gold one while the metal underneath is a fraction of the price.
Does the silver rate change by city?
IBJA fixes one rate for India and it is the rate lenders and jewellers price against. What changes locally is the making charge, the dealer premium on small pieces and how much competition there is: Chennai has 33 BIS-recognised assaying and hallmarking centres.
Has silver gone up or down over the last year?
Silver is up 40.2% over twelve months, and up 265.1% over five years, measured in rupees.
