India’s Gold Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) assets have crossed ₹1 lakh crore as of October 2025, according to a study by Zerodha Fund House. The firm said rising inflows and new investor accounts have pushed Gold ETFs to a new record, indicating growing preference for the ETF route over physical gold.

Zerodha Fund House reported that net inflows into Gold ETFs reached more than ₹27,500 crore in the first ten months of 2025—exceeding the combined inflows recorded between 2020 and 2024.

The fund house said the shift reflects increased acceptance of gold as a strategic long-term asset and a foundational component in diversified portfolios.
