RBI bought 6 tonnes of gold and likely sold $ 7 bn worth US treasury secs
The Reserve Bank bought almost six tonnes of gold and likely sold $ 7 billion worth US treasury securities this April in what seems to be its strategy of diversifying its forex reserves management.
The Reserve Bank bought almost six tonnes of gold and likely sold $ 7 billion worth US treasury securities this April in what seems to be its strategy of diversifying its forex reserves management.
The value of India’s – essentially the Reserve Bank of India’s – US treasury securities dipped $ 7.1 billion in April to take the value of outstanding US treasury securities’ (USTs) exposure to $233.5 billion at the end of the month, according to the data released by the US treasury department late on Tuesday.
In comparison, India bought about $ one billion worth of USTs in April of 2023 and the stock of gold was almost flat at 794 tonnes in the same period.
The RBI’s strategy is in line with that of the other major central banks globally who have been accumulating gold and discarding dollar denominated assets as the geopolitical tensions escalate. Foreign central banks have lowered their exposure to the USTs by $30 billion, the data released by the US Treasury department shows.
On the other hand, central banks globally bought a record 290 tonnes of gold in the January-March quarter with Chinese and Turkish central banks accounting for the maximum purchases during the quarter, data from the World Gold Council indicates.
The Reserve Bank has started to accumulate gold regularly from the market since December 2017, but has intensified its pace of accumulating over the past two years amidst rising geopolitical tensions
“We are building up gold reserves, the data is released from time-to-time” said RBI governor Shaktikanta Das at the post policy media conference on April 5. “All aspects while building up the reserves are assessed and then we make a decision.”

Harit Zaveri Jewellers Celebrates A Bride’s Royal Spirit In An Indian Wedding With Its New Polki Collection
A Celebration Of Regal Femininity, Heirloom Craftsmanship, and The Refreshing Depth Of Emeralds.
June 2026 A bride’s jewellery is never merely ornamental, it carries sentiment, memory, and the quiet power of tradition. With its newest Polki Collection, Harit Zaveri Jewellers introduces a refined take on royal Indian bridal jewellery, thoughtfully designed for the modern bride who embraces heritage while expressing her individuality with confidence and grace.
Crafted between 18kt to 14kt gold and enriched by Emeralds, Harit Zaveri Jewellers Polki collection celebrates a bride in her most transformative moment – poised between reflection and becoming. Every jewellery piece in the collection is designed to accompany her through this pause.
At the heart of the collection lies the richness of polki craftsmanship – raw, uncut diamonds admired for their old-world charm and regal appeal, long associated with royal Indian heirlooms. Paired with vivid emeralds, known to symbolise renewal, harmony, love, and abundance, the collection brings together heritage and elegance. The richness of green emeralds adds depth and freshness, creating jewels that feel both classic and strikingly modern.
The collection features an expansive range of statement and versatile pieces including necklaces, kadas, rings, earrings, and bridal sets, thoughtfully embellished with emeralds, pearls, and polki detailing.
This collection from Harit Zaveri Jewellers compliments classic reds and heritage weaves to contemporary ivories, pastels, and couture silhouettes. Whether layered with a traditional lehenga, paired with a modern sari drape, or styled for intimate pre-wedding celebrations, these pieces seamlessly adapt while elevating every bridal look with a quiet majesty.
These pieces are envisioned as modern heirlooms, where meticulous craftsmanship, precious materials, and timeless artistry come together to create pieces worthy of being passed down through generations.
Harit Zaveri, Joint Managing Director at Harit Zaveri Jewellers said:
“At Harit Zaveri Jewellers, we have always believed bridal jewellery should feel personal, something that reflects a bride’s story and individuality. Many of our clients naturally gravitate towards one-of-a-kind pieces that resonate with their personality and become part of their memories for years to come. With this Polki collection, we wanted to celebrate craftsmanship with the richness of emeralds, a stone that beautifully complements a variety of bridal colours and effortlessly completes a look. Above all, quality remains at the heart of everything we create because we believe jewellery should feel as enduring as the memories and moments attached to it.”
