The far-month August contract gathered 0.59 per cent at Rs 14,696 per ten gram, clocking business of 152 lots.
Market analysts said gold traded higher after the precious metal gained in New York as the $ weakened, boosting demand for precious metals, and the sales of previously-occupied US homes fell more than expected in March.
Meanwhile in Asia, gold traded 0.82 per cent higher at $911.20 an ounce.
