India’s gold holdings continue to rise.

According to Morgan Stanley, household gold, especially held by women, increased from $2.35 trillion in 2024 to $3.85 trillion in 2025. This represents significant growth, driven by rising prices and gold’s enduring reputation as a trusted store of value. In the past 15 years, Indian women have purchased about 12,050 tonnes of gold worth Rs 52.39 lakh crore. Of this, 8,732 tonnes are in jewellery and 3,318 tonnes in coins and biscuits. Today, this gold is valued at Rs 143.20 lakh crore, generating a profit of nearly Rs 90.81 lakh crore. Gold and silver together make up a significant 22.2% share of India’s total household wealth, second only to property.
