The total assets under management (AUM) of gold ETFs in India crossed Rs 1 lakh
crore in the first ten months of 2025. This growth, along with a rise in new
investor accounts, shows that more Indians are choosing gold ETFs as their preferred
way to invest in gold, according to a note from Zerodha Fund House.
The digital-only, passive fund house said gold continues to play an important
role as a long-term strategic investment. It is also considered a key part of a
well-diversified investment portfolio, helping investors reduce risk while
maintaining growth potential.
Zerodha Fund House added that the 2025 data clearly shows strong interest in
gold ETFs, driven by record inflows from investors and a rise in gold prices.
The trend indicates that more people are now opting for the ETF route over
traditional ways of investing in gold, such as physical jewelry or bars, due
to the convenience and safety of digital investments.
This growth also reflects a shift in investor behaviour, with more people looking
for long-term wealth creation through simple and regulated investment options.
