Gold Reserve in India: Amid financial and geopolitical uncertainties globally, gold prices are witnessing a tremendous rise. The reason behind this rise is not only the purchase of jewelery by investors but also the increase in gold reserves by countries around the world.
The rising price of gold can be gauged from the fact that in the financial year 2023-24, gold was being sold at around Rs 70,000 per tola, whereas now in 2025 it has crossed Rs 1,05,000 per 10 grams. Its reasons include geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainties, monetary policies and inflationary pressures.
India’s gold reserves
India is also increasing its gold reserves rapidly. According to RBI, the total gold reserves in the country have reached 880 tonnes by October 8, 2025, which includes reserves in Nagpur and Mumbai. Apart from this, part of India’s gold reserves are also kept in the Bank of England and the Bank of International Settlements.
India has increased its gold reserves by about 58% in the last decade. In 2015, India had 557.7 tonnes of gold, which has now increased to 880 tonnes in 2025. Especially after 2022, India strategically increased its gold reserves keeping in mind the global trends and economic security.
China’s gold reserve
China has also aggressively increased its gold reserves. In 2025, China purchased 39.2 tonnes of gold only from January to September. By October 8, 2025, China’s total gold reserves have reached 2,298.5 tons. On average, China has increased gold reserves by 2 to 5 tonnes every month, although only 0.4 tonnes were purchased in September. In this way, the increase in investment and reserves in gold at the global and domestic level is becoming the main reason for the continuous rise in its prices.
