Gold jewellery price varies across India, the second-largest consumer of the metal, due to excise duty, state taxes, and making changes.

Gold edged lower on Tuesday, pressured by an uptick in the dollar, as investors awaited policy cues from a two-day US Federal Reserve meeting.

Spot gold fell 0.2% to $1,729.21 per ounce. U.S. gold futures were down 0.1% at $1,727.20.

"Gold should have found a bottom but the big risk is the Fed, and if the Fed does not push back against the bond market, you could see that one-day of panic selling (in gold)," said Edward Moya, senior market analyst at OANDA.

The US Federal Open Market Committee's two-day meeting ends on Wednesday. The central bank is expected to reiterate its pledge to keep interest rates pinned near zero until the economy reaches full employment.

The dollar rose 0.1%, increasing the cost of holding gold in other currencies. Gold could rise with U.S. Treasury yields in the next few months, as a move closer to 2% in yields could derail relentless stock market buying and restore gold's appeal as a safe haven, Moya added.
