Gold prices on Wednesday rose by Rs 311 to Rs 40,241 per 10 gram in the national capital amid rupee depreciation and higher buying, according to HDFC Securities.
The precious metal had closed at Rs 39,930 per 10 gram on Tuesday.
"Spot gold for 24 karat in Delhi was trading up by Rs 311, reflecting Tuesday's gains of international gold prices.
