Silver declined by Rs 200 to Rs 53,000 per kg on reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers at existing high levels.
Traders said sentiment turned bearish after gold declined in the global markets as a stronger dollar curbed demand for the metal as an alternative investment.
In London, gold fell by 0.1 per cent to USD 1,585.43 an ounce, while silver shed 0.4 per cent to USD 27.23 an ounce.
Sluggish demand at prevailing higher levels and shifting of funds by investors from bullion to firming equity markets also influenced the sentiment, they added.
