India’s Gold Reserves Hit Historic Milestone: $102.36 Billion!
India’s gold reserves have crossed the $100 billion mark for the first time, reaching $102.36 billion as of October 2025. This milestone reflects a rise in global gold prices rather than major new purchases by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
Key Highlights:
• Gold Reserves: $102.36 billion, accounting for 14.7% of total forex reserves
• Forex Reserves: $697.78 billion, with a slight dip due to valuation changes
• RBI Purchases: Limited gold buying this year, with most gains driven by price increases
• Global Gold Prices: Soared over 65% this year, boosting India’s holdings
• Central Bank Strategy: Focus on diversifying assets away from traditional currencies
Why It Matters:
• Strengthens India’s financial stability and offers a cushion against currency volatility
• Signals growing investor preference for gold as a long-term store of value
• Reflects RBI’s strategic focus on gold as a key component of forex reserves
Market Context:
• Global central banks increasing gold holdings amid economic uncertainty and geopolitical risks
• Gold’s share in India’s forex reserves at a two-decade high
India’s gold reserves milestone underscores the metal’s enduring appeal as a safe-haven asset and strategic reserve component.
