The Tola in Silver Markets
The tola (also spelled “tolah”) is a traditional unit of weight used across South Asia and the Middle East for precious metals trading. One tola equals exactly 11.6638 grams, or 3/8 of a troy ounce. The unit was standardized by the Indian government in 1833 under the Indian Weights and Measures Act.
In India, the world's largest physical silver market, retail prices are quoted per tola or per 10 grams. Local tola rates include a premium over the international spot price that reflects import duties (currently 7.5%), GST (3%), and dealer margins. This means the Indian tola rate is typically 15-25% above the converted spot price.
