Gold ETFs in India have achieved a landmark Rs 1 lakh crore in Assets Under Management (AUM) by October 2025, propelled by unprecedented investor inflows and a growing preference for digital gold. A recent study highlighted that inflows during the first ten months of 2025 alone exceeded the total for the preceding five years combined. This robust performance underscores the increasing appeal of ETFs as a preferred investment vehicle for gold.
The shift towards Gold ETFs is attributed to their efficiency over physical holdings, offering benefits such as eliminating storage hassles, avoiding making charges, and providing tax advantages. The number of investor folios has seen explosive growth, surging from 7.83 lakh in October 2020 to over 95 lakh by October 2025. This accessibility is further bolstered by low unit prices, making gold a viable tool for wealth creation for all investors.
Beyond gold, Silver ETFs have also witnessed rising adoption since their launch in 2022, with investor folios reaching over 25 lakh and an AUM exceeding Rs 40,000 crore by October 2025. These milestones reflect a broader trend of investors embracing commodity investments in the ETF format, signaling a maturing and diversifying investment landscape in India.
