Why Indian investors should look at Silver in 2025: The metal poised for growth

Amid ongoing economic uncertainty, currency fluctuations, and the global green energy transition, silver is gaining renewed traction among Indian investors. Traditionally seen as the "poor cousin" of gold, silver is now stepping into the spotlight—not just as a precious metal, but as a high-demand industrial commodity. With prices surging and ETFs gaining popularity in India, silver could be a smart portfolio addition in 2025. ADVERTISEMENT According to the Silver Institute, global silver demand is projected to exceed 1.2 billion ounces in 2025, driven by its critical role in solar energy, electric vehicles (EVs), and industrial electronics. Globally, silver is trading around $32.50/oz (₹2,700 per 10 grams) as of July 2025, up 18% YoY. In India, prices have crossed the ₹90,000 per kg mark—an increase of over 20% year-on-year, outperforming many traditional investment instruments like FDs and even short-term gold ambitious renewable energy targets—500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030—will require massive investments in solar infrastructure, where silver is a core material. Each solar panel uses 15–20 grams of silver, and demand is expected to grow in tandem with the government's Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes in renewables and semiconductors. As per NITI Aayog estimates, India aims for 30% EV penetration in private vehicles by 2030. EVs use 2–3x more silver than internal combustion vehicles, particularly in connectors and control systems. This will significantly raise domestic industrial silver consumption. With domestic inflation averaging above 5%, and the rupee hovering near ₹84/USD, silver offers a hedge both against purchasing power erosion and currency depreciation. Unlike gold, silver also benefits from industrial utility, providing dual upside imports over 60% of its silver requirements, making it highly sensitive to global supply-demand shifts. With mining output stagnant globally and industrial demand booming, prices are expected to remain firm or trend upward over the medium term. ADVERTISEMENT Indian investors now have multiple regulated and accessible ways to invest in silver:Silver ETFs: Introduced in 2022, these are seeing growing traction. The total Assets Under Management (AUM) in Indian silver ETFs have grown over 70% YoY (AMFI, Q2 2025). ADVERTISEMENT Silver futures: MCX Silver and Silver Mini contracts offer high liquidity. Trading volumes have risen by 35% in the past year, reflecting investor interest in short- to medium-term silver price movement. Digital silver: Offered by fintech platforms, allows fractional ownership and ease of buying/selling, particularly for younger investors. ADVERTISEMENT Physical silver: Coins, bars, and jewellery still hold cultural and emotional value—especially during Akshaya Tritiya, Dhanteras, and weddings. Potential Sovereign Silver Bonds: If introduced on the lines of Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs), they could offer an attractive fixed return alongside price appreciation and tax benefits. While the fundamentals look strong, silver is inherently more volatile than gold. Key risks include: ADVERTISEMENT Price swings due to global economic data or Fed policy Geopolitical tensions affecting imports Speculative trading in futures markets Investors are advised to keep silver as part of a diversified portfolio—ideally 5–10%, depending on risk appetite and time India accelerates its clean energy and EV push, silver is set to play a critical role—not just in industry, but in wealth creation. For Indian investors seeking alternatives beyond gold, stocks, and FDs, silver offers an opportunity to participate in the next industrial and economic wave—with the added shine of inflation protection and global tailwinds.(The author, Inderbir Singh Jolly is CEO at PL Wealth Management) (Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.

CTI urges Delhi govt to host shopping festivals on lines of Dubai, China

Synopsis The Chamber of Trade and Industry has requested the Delhi government to organize large shopping festivals and business fairs, similar to those in Dubai and China, to stimulate trade and tourism. CTI Chairman Brijesh Goyal emphasized that these festivals would boost local trade, create jobs, and generate revenue. Minister Kapil Mishra welcomed the idea and requested a detailed proposal. TIL Creatives Representational AI Image. The Chamber of Trade and Industry (CTI) has urged the Delhi government to organise large-scale shopping festivals and business fairs similar to those held in Dubai and China to boost trade and tourism in the national capital. In a meeting with Tourism and Culture Minister Kapil Mishra at the Delhi Secretariat, CTI suggested that after the success of the Teej festival, similar events could be held around Diwali and other major festivals, according to a statement. The Chamber also proposed that fairs focusing on automobiles, footwear, furniture, home furnishings and food could be organised across the city, it stated. CTI Chairman Brijesh Goyal said these festivals would not only promote local trade but also create employment and generate revenue for the government. He added that shopping festivals could be held under the banner of popular markets such as Chandni Chowk, with participation from local traders. The minister welcomed the idea and asked CTI to submit a detailed proposal and roadmap outlining which festival could feature which type of fair. Goyal pointed out that such events offer opportunities to small-scale sellers and entrepreneurs who do not have shops or cannot afford high-rent showrooms. These vendors can be provided stalls at subsidised rates to showcase and sell their products. The minister also distributed certificates to social media influencers who promoted the Teej festival, it added.
