India’s Gold Market: Investment Up, Jewelry Down as Prices Rise

The World Gold Council projects a cooling in India’s gold consumption for 2025, marking a decline from last year’s nine-year peak of 802.8 metric tons.

This shift is primarily driven by gold prices hitting record high levels, reaching 84,399 rupees ($968.62) per 10 grams, following a substantial 21% increase in 2024 and an additional 10% rise already in 2025.

While jewelry demand, which traditionally accounts for 70% of India’s total gold consumption, is expected to decrease due to fixed household budgets failing to keep pace with rising prices, investment demand is rising.

Investment interest in gold surged 29% to an 11-year high of 239.4 tons in 2024 and is expected to continue growing through various channels including ETFs, digital gold, and physical bars and coins.

Counterfeiting precious metals is as old as money itself. Knowing how to spot fake gold starts with understanding how fakes are made.   In September 2012, Manhattan dealer Ibrahim Fadl paid $100,000 for four 10-ounce PAMP Suisse gold bars. He drilled into them after a colleague’s tip — and found tungsten [NBC News]. The bars had already passed X-ray fluorescence testing and a scale check.

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
