Do you know? India is now bringing its gold back to the country! The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has onshored about 64 tonnes of gold in India in the last six months — in what is believed to be the biggest move so far. In this era of global uncertainties and financial warfare, RBI’s focus is now on keeping its gold reserves safe in the country. The RBI had a total of 880.8 tonnes of gold as of September 2025, of which 575.8 tonnes is now held in India. The remaining 290.3 tonnes is in the custody of the Bank of England and BIS. Apart from this, RBI also has 14 tonnes of gold in the form of deposits. The total value of all these reserves is estimated to be around $95 billion (₹7.9 lakh crore). Recently the RBI also bought 0.6 metric tonnes (600 kg) of new gold — making India one of the countries in the world that are rapidly increasing their gold reserves. Globally, central banks added 166 tonnes of gold this year, taking both gold demand and prices to record highs. This step of RBI clearly shows that now the trust is back on Gold, and India is ahead in this race!
