Indian dealers offered a discount of up to $14 an ounce over official domestic prices, inclusive of 6% import and 3% sales levies, unchanged from last week.

"Local gold prices have been rising more than global prices in the last few days due to the depreciation of the rupee to a record low. This has been dampening demand," said Ashok Jain, proprietor of Mumbai-based gold wholesaler Chenaji Narsinghji.

The Indian rupee depreciated to a record low this week, effectively making imports more expensive.
