India’s Gold Reserves Cross $100 Billion for the First Time!
The Reserve Bank of India’s gold reserves have surpassed the $100 billion mark for the first time. It has reached a staggering $102.365 billion as of October 10, 2025. This milestone was achieved largely due to surging global bullion prices, even though the central bank’s gold purchases have been minimal this year.
As of October 2025, India’s gold reserves have hit a record $102.36 billion, driven mainly by the surge in global gold prices — not large new purchases by the RBI.
Total forex reserves: $697.78 billion.
Gold’s share: 14.7% — highest in 20 years
What’s Driving It:
Rising global gold prices (up over 65% this year)
Limited RBI purchases — gains came largely from valuation
Safe-haven demand amid global uncertainty
Why It Matters:
Strengthens India’s financial cushion against currency swings
Reflects RBI’s move to diversify away from the US dollar. India is consciously reducing the Dollar investments for quite sometime now.
Highlights gold’s role as a trusted long-term asset
Bottom Line:
India’s gold reserves just crossed the $100 billion mark — a historic milestone powered by soaring gold prices and global demand for safety assets.
