Key Highlights

Investment demand is reshaping the Indian gold market, with ETFs and bar/coin purchases driving growth. Jewellery demand stays strong despite rising prices.

A notable transformation is occurring in the Indian gold market as consumers increasingly favor gold as an investment vehicle. According to a recent report, investment-driven demand could account for 35-40% of India’s total gold consumption in the current fiscal year, signaling a significant structural change.

This shift is primarily fueled by the growing popularity of gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and the acquisition of gold bars and coins, reflecting a strategic move by Indian buyers to diversify their investment portfolios.

Despite rising gold prices, the demand for gold jewellery in India remains strong, demonstrating the enduring cultural significance and consumer confidence in gold as a valuable asset.
