Assets of MFs in gold ETFs up 95 per cent to Rs 55,677 crore
The sharp rise in gold prices has led to a spike in the assets under management (AUM) of gold exchange traded funds (ETFs). AUM of gold ETFs have nearly doubled in the last one year.Assets of mutual funds in gold ETFs have jumped 95 per cent to Rs 55,677 crore as of February 2025 as against Rs 28,529 crore in the same period of last year, according to data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI).
Gold ETFs allow investors to get exposure to gold without physically owning it, tracking the price of gold and trading like stocks on exchanges. They are a convenient and liquid way to invest in gold, since they can be easily bought and sold on exchanges and investors don’t need to worry about storing or insuring physical gold.
Gold ETFs have been increasingly gaining popularity among investors due to liquidity, transparency and global price alignment. With the escalating geopolitical tensions boosting the “safe-haven” appeal of the bullion, investors are preferring to park their funds in Gold ETFs as compared to investing in physical gold as there is no hassle of storing it. Also, there are concerns of purity and theft while investing in physical gold, which is not the case with Gold ETFs, according to ICRA Analytics.

iAMORY Goes Mobile: D2C Jeweler Debuts App to Disrupt India’s ‘Counter-Led’ Retail
By bridging the trust gap with lab-grown diamonds and 925 silver, the new iOS and Android platform aims to become a “digital counter” for the modern consumer.
Following a successful physical debut in Mumbai, jewelry brand iAMORY has officially launched its mobile application on Android and iOS. The move signals a strategic shift to scale its direct-to-consumer (D2C) presence, targeting the rapidly evolving digital habits of Indian shoppers.


The app launch is designed to solve the “discovery fatigue” and lack of transparency often associated with traditional jewelry buying. By focusing on the 925 sterling silver and lab-grown diamond (LGD) segments, iAMORY is positioning itself at the intersection of affordability and fine jewelry.
A “Digital Counter” Experience The platform introduces several features aimed at building consumer confidence in high-value online purchases:
- Total Transparency: Real-time access to metal purity details, diamond certifications, and clear pricing breakdowns.
- Mobile-First Design: A seamless interface featuring AI-driven notifications, wishlists, and secure “one-tap” checkouts.
- Exclusive Access: App users will receive priority access to limited product drops and specialized discounts not available on the web or in-store.

Archit Jain of iAMORY noted that the power dynamic in the industry is shifting. “Digital adoption is democratizing jewelry,” Jain stated. “It is shifting power from family-led counters to digital-first, design-led brands that prioritize transparency, speed, and storytelling.” He describes the app as a “digital counter” where users can instantly compare prices and access social proof.
iAMORY plans to continuously iterate on the app experience, with upcoming updates slated to include advanced personalization tools, AI-driven loyalty mechanisms, and interactive content formats to deepen customer engagement.
