India’s Silver ETF Assets Surge 266% to ₹13,500 Crore in 2025, Marking Rapid Growth
Silver ETFs in India see unprecedented growth, with Assets under Management (AUM) jumping from ₹3,705 crore in January 2024 to ₹13,566 crore in January 2025, reflecting strong investor interest.
Silver exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in India have experienced remarkable growth, with Assets under Management (AUM) surging 266% to ₹13,566 crore by January 2025. This surge follows SEBI’s decision in November 2021 to allow Asset Management Companies to launch silver ETFs, marking a significant shift in the investment landscape. In January 2022, the AUM of silver ETFs stood at just ₹123 crore, growing to ₹1,651 crore by January 2023. The most significant increase occurred in 2024, as AUMs jumped from ₹3,705 crore in January 2024 to ₹13,566 crore by January 2025.
Investor interest in silver ETFs has also risen sharply, with twelve silver ETFs collectively crossing 6 lakh investor folios as of January 2025, up from 1.9 lakh the previous year, according to data from Zerodha Fund House. This growth suggests that Indian investors are increasingly turning to silver as a means of diversification and exposure to commodities.

Vaibhav Jalan, CBO of Zerodha Fund House, noted, “The rising transaction volumes of silver ETFs are a clear sign of growing investor interest. These ETFs provide a convenient alternative to physical silver ownership, addressing concerns about storage, security, and insurance, while offering access to silver’s price movements.”
The surge in silver ETF popularity comes amid global geopolitical and geoeconomic uncertainties, with silver prices tracking gold. Moreover, industrial demand for silver has seen a significant uptick, rising more than 55% due to its increasing applications in sectors such as automotive, technology, pharmaceuticals, and solar energy.

KISNA Diamond & Gold Jewellery launches KISNA Digital Gold in partnership with SafeGold, expanding its omnichannel gold ecosystem
The launch underscores Limelight’s rapid national expansion as it continues to strengthen its retail presence across India.
- Marks KISNA’s entry into digital gold ownership, strengthening its omnichannel gold ecosystem
- Allows customers to start owning gold digitally from Rs.10 with no lock-in
- Bridges digital gold ownership with physical jewellery redemption across KISNA’s retail network
KISNA Diamond and Gold Jewellery, one of India’s foremost jewellery brands, today announced the launch of KISNA Digital Gold, a strategic move marking its entry into digital gold ownership through a partnership with SafeGold, a product of Digital Gold India Private Limited (DGIPL).
The launch marks KISNA’s entry into digital gold ownership, strengthening its omnichannel gold ecosystem and expanding how customers can engage with gold across digital and physical touchpoints. Through this partnership, KISNA enables customers to buy, sell and redeem digital gold in a safe, transparent and flexible manner, while extending the trust and credibility of its jewellery legacy into a seamless digital-first experience.
KISNA Digital Gold allows customers to begin their gold purchase with an amount as low as Rs.10, significantly lowering the entry barrier to gold ownership. Customers can buy gold in fractional quantities at live market-linked prices, with holdings credited in grams up to four decimal places.
The digital gold purchased is 24-karat gold of 995 fineness or higher purity, stored securely in insured vaults operated by internationally recognised precious metals custodians, with customers retaining full ownership at all times. Customers have the flexibility to sell their digital gold at prevailing prices or redeem it against physical gold jewellery at KISNA stores across India.

Commenting on the launch, Parag Shah, CEO, KISNA Diamond & Gold Jewellery, said: “The launch of KISNA Digital Gold marks a strategic step in expanding how consumers engage with gold. Enabled through SafeGold, the offering allows customers to start with just ₹10 and transact without any lock-in, making gold ownership more accessible and transparent. Over time, we see digital gold becoming a gateway to deeper jewellery relationships, allowing consumers to plan, save and seamlessly convert their digital holdings into physical jewellery through our retail network.”
Commenting on the partnership Rhea Chaterji, COO and Co-founder, SafeGold said: “Our partnership with KISNA brings together trusted jewellery craftsmanship and secure digital gold infrastructure. By combining asset-backed gold ownership, independent trustee oversight and insured custody, we aim to make digital gold a simple, transparent and reliable option for consumers looking to own gold with confidence.”

How KISNA Digital Gold works
- Digital onboarding: Customers register on KISNA’s platform using basic details and a valid PAN card.
- Buy gold starting at ₹10: Gold can be purchased at live prices in flexible amounts.

- Secure custody: Purchased gold is stored in insured vaults with independent trustee oversight to safeguard customer ownership.
- Transparent tracking: Customers can access real-time balances, invoices and holding statements online.
- Sell or redeem: Gold can be sold digitally at prevailing prices or redeemed for physical jewellery at KISNA stores nationwide.
There is no lock-in period, offering customers complete flexibility in managing their gold holdings. The offering is currently available to resident Indian customers with a valid PAN card. While buying and selling is enabled digitally through the platform, customers can redeem their digital gold balance at KISNA’s extensive network of stores, seamlessly bridging digital ownership with in-store craftsmanship.
This launch reinforces KISNA’s long-term focus on accessibility, trust and customer-centric innovation, while adapting to evolving consumer preferences around flexibility, transparency and digital convenience in gold ownership.
KISNA Digital Gold represents ownership of physical gold and is not a regulated financial product or deposit, but a digital method of purchasing gold for personal use.
