Gold, in India, holds a special place in the hearts of consumers, symbolising both tradition and wealth. Did you know that Indian women collectively hold over 24,000 tonnes of gold? That’s 11 percent of the world’s reserves. Whether for weddings, festivals, or long-term investments, gold has remained a preferred asset for generations. However, with changing times, investors are shifting towards gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs), a modern way to invest in gold without physically storing it. Gold ETFs track the current price of gold and are traded on the stock exchange, offering high liquidity and transparency.
The World Gold Council stated that gold accounts for 10 percent of India’s total foreign exchange reserves, the highest share since 1999. As of September 2024, 510 tons of the Reserve Bank of India’s total gold reserves were held domestically.
