Today's Silver Price

The silver price in Nepal is updated every working day based on the official rates published by the Federation of Nepal Gold and Silver Dealers' Association (FENEGOSIDA). These daily benchmark prices are widely used by jewellery retailers, bullion traders, investors, and consumers throughout Nepal.

The live silver price displayed on this page includes the latest Chandi rate per Tola, Gram and Kilogram, allowing users to quickly check today's official market value before purchasing, selling, or valuing silver items. Since silver prices fluctuate daily, checking the latest rate helps buyers avoid outdated pricing and make informed financial decisions.

Unlike fixed commodities, silver prices in Nepal are influenced by multiple economic factors, including international bullion markets, the global silver spot price (XAG/USD), exchange rate movements between the US Dollar and Nepalese Rupee (USD/NPR), import costs, and domestic market demand. Because Nepal imports precious metals, changes in international markets are reflected in local prices through FENEGOSIDA's daily pricing mechanism.

Whether you are purchasing silver jewellery, investment bars, silver coins, traditional utensils, or simply checking today's Chandi rate, this page provides a reliable reference using official Nepal market benchmarks together with an integrated silver value calculator and weight conversion tools.

Why Silver Prices Behave Differently Than Gold

Silver prices in Nepal are influenced by a different combination of factors than gold. While both precious metals follow international commodity markets, silver demand is also driven by industrial manufacturing, solar energy production, electronics, medical equipment and investment demand. As a result, silver often experiences larger percentage price movements than gold over shorter periods.

Silver Units Used in Nepal

Silver in Nepal is commonly traded using both traditional and metric measurement systems.

The most common traditional unit is the Tola, while jewellers also use Aana and Lal for smaller quantities.

Official metric conversions are:

• 1 Tola = 11.6638 grams
• 1 Aana = 0.729 grams
• 1 Lal = 0.116638 grams
• 100 Lal = 1 Tola
• 1 Kilogram = 85.735 Tola

The calculator on this page automatically converts between all major Nepalese and international silver weight units.

Silver Purity Standards

Silver products available in Nepal generally fall into the following purity categories:

Fine Silver (999)

Contains 99.9% pure silver and is commonly used for investment bars and bullion.

Sterling Silver (925)

Contains 92.5% silver and 7.5% alloy metals. This is the most common jewellery standard worldwide.

Traditional Silver

Some handcrafted Nepalese ornaments may have different purity levels depending on local craftsmanship and intended use.

Always verify purity before purchasing silver jewellery or investment products.

Common Uses of Silver in Nepal

Silver plays an important role in Nepalese culture and the economy. Common uses include:

• Jewellery
• Religious items
• Traditional utensils
• Investment bars
• Coins
• Wedding gifts
• Decorative handicrafts
• Industrial manufacturing

Unlike gold, silver also has significant industrial demand, making its price behaviour different during changing economic conditions.

Silver as an Investment

Many investors consider silver a long-term store of value because it serves both industrial and investment purposes. Silver may offer:

• Lower entry cost than gold
• Higher price volatility
• Portfolio diversification
• Inflation protection over long periods
• Industrial demand support

However, silver prices can fluctuate significantly, and past performance does not guarantee future returns.

Difference Between Gold and Silver Prices

Although gold and silver often move in the same general direction, they respond differently to market conditions.

The live gold price in Nepal is primarily influenced by investment demand and central bank reserves, whereas silver is influenced by both investment demand and industrial consumption.

Because of this dual demand, silver prices may rise or fall independently of gold during certain market cycles.

Many investors monitor both precious metals together before making buying or selling decisions.

How Often Are Silver Prices Updated?

The official silver rate in Nepal is generally updated once every business day after FENEGOSIDA publishes the latest benchmark prices.

International silver spot prices continue changing throughout global trading hours.

This page synchronizes official Nepal benchmark prices while also displaying the latest available market information for reference.

Who Uses Silver Price Data?

The official silver price is widely used by:

• Jewellery buyers
• Jewellery shops
• Precious metal dealers
• Investors
• Financial institutions
• Pawn and valuation services
• Gold and silver traders
• Individuals selling old silver

Using official benchmark rates helps ensure fair valuation during buying and selling transactions.

Buying Silver in Nepal

If you are planning to buy silver in Nepal, always compare the official daily benchmark price before visiting a jewellery shop or bullion dealer.

The published market rate acts as the reference price, while the final amount paid may also include:

• Making charges
• Design charges
• Purity adjustments
• Applicable taxes
• Dealer service charges

Checking the official silver price before purchasing helps buyers understand whether the quoted jewellery price is reasonable.

Selling Silver in Nepal

Individuals selling silver jewellery, utensils, coins, or bullion should compare the offered buying price with the official market benchmark.

Most dealers evaluate:

• Total weight
• Silver purity
• Current market price
• Refining loss
• Melting charges

Because purchase prices may differ from retail prices, checking the official benchmark provides a useful reference before selling.

Silver Jewellery Pricing

Silver jewellery prices are calculated using several components rather than the metal price alone. The final selling price generally consists of:

• Silver value based on weight
• Jewellery making charges
• Design complexity
• Stone or accessory costs
• Applicable taxes and customs

For handcrafted jewellery, making charges may represent a significant portion of the final retail price.

Silver Coins and Bullion

Investment-grade silver is commonly available in the form of coins and bullion bars. Unlike jewellery, investment silver usually has:

• Higher purity
• Lower making charges
• Easier resale value
• Standardized weight

Many investors prefer bullion products when purchasing silver primarily for investment purposes.

Why Silver Prices Change in Nepal

Why Silver Prices Behave Differently Than Gold

Silver prices in Nepal are influenced by a different combination of factors than gold. While both precious metals follow international commodity markets, silver demand is also driven by industrial manufacturing, solar energy production, electronics, medical equipment and investment demand. As a result, silver often experiences larger percentage price movements than gold over shorter periods.

International Silver Market

The Nepal silver market closely follows international precious metal trading. Global silver prices are commonly quoted in US Dollars per Troy Ounce (XAG/USD).

When international silver prices move significantly, Nepal's domestic silver benchmark usually adjusts after accounting for exchange rates and local market conditions.

Because of this relationship, international economic events can influence local silver prices even if domestic demand remains unchanged.

Silver Price vs Exchange Rate

Exchange rates play an important role in determining silver prices in Nepal. Since silver is traded globally in US Dollars, changes in the Nepalese Rupee exchange rate directly affect local pricing.

When the NPR weakens against the USD, silver prices in Nepal may rise even if international silver prices remain relatively stable. Similarly, a stronger Nepalese Rupee may reduce local silver prices despite steady global markets.

Daily Price Volatility

Silver prices are naturally volatile because they respond to both investment demand and industrial consumption. Short-term fluctuations may occur due to:

• International commodity markets
• Currency movements
• Global economic uncertainty
• Manufacturing demand
• Investor sentiment

Daily changes are normal and should be interpreted within the context of longer-term market trends.

Why Silver Prices Matter

Daily silver prices affect many sectors of Nepal's economy. They influence:

• Jewellery businesses
• Precious metal traders
• Individual investors
• Manufacturing industries
• Religious and ceremonial purchases
• Traditional handicrafts

Access to accurate benchmark prices helps businesses and consumers make informed financial decisions.

Frequently Monitored Silver Metrics

Many users monitor more than today's silver price alone. Popular market indicators include:

• Silver price per tola
• Silver price per gram
• Silver price per kilogram
• Silver price history
• Daily percentage change
• Weekly price movement
• Monthly trend
• Silver to Gold ratio
• USD to NPR exchange rate
• International XAG/USD spot price

Together these indicators provide a more complete picture of the silver market.
