New Delhi, July 2025: In a significant development for investors and jewellers alike, silver prices in India have reached a record high of ₹1.11 lakh per kilogram, marking a historic milestone in the precious metals market.
The rally in silver is being fueled by a combination of strong global demand, investor shift toward safe-haven assets, and ongoing supply constraints. According to bullion traders, geopolitical uncertainties, inflation concerns, and increased industrial demand—especially from the green energy and electronics sectors—have added to silver’s bullish trend.
On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), silver futures surged past previous records in just a matter of days. Analysts say this momentum could continue if global uncertainties persist, particularly with silver being seen as a more affordable hedge against inflation compared to gold.
Silver’s industrial applications in solar panels, electric vehicles, and electronics have also pushed demand higher, particularly in fast-developing economies like India and China.
Why is Silver Rising Now?
- Weakening of the US dollar: Making precious metals more attractive globally
- Central bank policies: Investors are hedging against potential market volatility
- Industrial use cases: Growing consumption of silver in renewable energy tech
- Safe-haven demand: Global tensions are prompting a move toward tangible assets
Jewellers across India are reporting higher customer footfall, not necessarily for purchases, but to keep track of pricing trends. Many consumers are now re-evaluating wedding jewellery plans, and investors are considering silver as a key component in their diversified portfolios.
Experts, however, advise caution. “While silver’s fundamentals remain strong, such sharp rallies are often followed by corrections,” said market analyst Ramesh Shah of BullionTrade India.
For now, silver is shining brighter than ever—both literally and financially—as it cements its place as one of 2025’s hottest commodities.
