Bombay Chamber of Commerce & Industry organized a panel discussion  on “Building India’s Gold Monetization Marketplace”, moderated by Neil Borate, Editor-in-Chief of The Federal’s fintech platform The Fynprint. The panel featured Khushboo Ranawat, Regional Chairperson – West, and Member – National Exhibitions, GJEPC,  Richa Agarwal, Chief General Manager, SEBI; Ramakrishnan Padmanabhan, General Manager, Department of Metals & Commodities, IFSCA; Nilesh Lodaya, Chief Business Officer, CDSL; Rajnish Gupta, Partner, Tax and Economic Policy Group, EY India; and Gunveer Singh, Executive Director, Department of Payment & Settlement Systems, RBI.

The discussion explored ways to channel household gold into the formal financial system, strengthen India’s gold monetization ecosystem and reduce dependence on imports. Panelists noted that a significant share of India’s gold holdings consists of investment gold in the form of bars and coins, representing a substantial opportunity for future monetization.

The seminar brought together regulators, market infrastructure institutions and industry leaders to discuss policy reforms, electronic gold receipts, tokenization and the development of a modern digital gold ecosystem. Speakers included Praveen Rai, MD & CEO of MCX, former SEBI Executive Director Pramod Rao, and senior officials from SEBI, IFSCA, RBI, CDSL and NSDL.
