Gold Reserve in India: Money loses value. Markets swing. Currencies fall. But gold stays steady. Across the world, countries are filling their vaults with it. The metal’s price has shot to record highs, not just from jewellery demand, but from central banks racing to secure their future. In times of fear and uncertainty, gold has once again become the world’s favourite shield.
In India, the story is no different. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has been increasing its gold holdings. As of October 8, 2025, the country’s total gold reserve stands at 880 tonnes, with significant storage in Nagpur and Mumbai. A portion of India’s reserve also rests with the Bank of England and the Bank for International Settlements.
Over the past decade, India has expanded its gold stockpile by almost 58%.
