Silver, in contrast, declined by Rs 626 to Rs 62,214 per kg from Rs 62,840 per kg in the previous trade. The Indian rupee declined 23 paise to close at 75.38 against the US dollar on Friday.
In the international market, gold was trading with gains at $1,827 per ounce and silver was flat at $23.02 per ounce.
"Gold prices traded marginally up with spot gold prices at COMEX trading at $1,827 per ounce on Friday," Tapan Patel, Senior Analyst (commodities) at HDFC Securities, said.
Gold prices pared some of the previous gains following a stronger dollar and rally in US bond yields he added.
"However, the yellow metal has kept firm as the US CPI rose in January to 7.50 per cent which capped the downside as an inflation hedge," Patel added.
