Gold and Silver Prices Set to Surge in 2025- Gold Could Reach Rs 90000
Gold prices in India surged by 21% in 2024, driven by central bank policies, geopolitical risks, and strong global demand. As of January 1, 2025, gold prices were Rs 78,000 per 10 grams for 24K, with predictions pointing towards a rise to Rs 85,000-90,000 in 2025. While gold outperformed other commodities in 2024, experts recommend a “buy-on-dips” strategy for investors, as prices may consolidate before further gains. Geopolitical tensions and central bank actions will continue to support the demand for gold and silver.
Silver also saw impressive gains in 2024, with prices expected to reach Rs 1.1-1.25 lakh per kg, fueled by industrial and investment demand. Experts like Manav Modi from Motilal Oswal Financial Services maintain a positive outlook for both metals in the medium to long term, forecasting potential price growth even amid market fluctuations. However, while Rs 1 lakh for gold is considered optimistic, extreme economic conditions could push it towards that mark.

BlueStone, SafeGold Launch Platform To Convert Idle Gold Into Digital Assets
New initiative enables customers to earn around 4% annual returns in gold grams while supporting gold monetisation and reducing import dependence.
SafeGold has partnered with BlueStone to launch a platform that enables consumers to convert idle physical gold into digital gold, lease it out and earn an annual yield of around 4% in gold grams. The initiative aims to mobilise India’s vast household gold reserves while reducing the country’s dependence on gold imports.
Customers can bring their old gold jewellery or coins to BlueStone stores, where the gold will be assayed, digitised and converted into digital gold through the SafeGold platform. They can then lease their holdings and earn returns in gold grams, allowing their gold holdings to grow irrespective of price movements.
India is estimated to hold nearly 30,000 tonnes of household gold, much of which remains idle. According to SafeGold, bringing even a fraction of this gold into the formal economy can improve capital availability for the jewellery industry while lowering the need for fresh imports.
