Traditionally, gold dominates India’s festive buying season, but this year, silver has taken center stage. Prices of silver have surged nearly 75% in 2025, outperforming gold and many other commodities. This rally is fueled by soaring global demand across households, industries, and even central banks.

Record Prices in India

In India, silver prices have touched ₹1,50,000 per kg, setting an all-time high. On a daily basis, the price of silver today stands at ₹185.10 per gram or ₹1,85,100 per kilogram. Investors are increasingly turning to silver as a potential alternative or complement to gold, given its strong performance this year.

Drivers Behind Silver’s Popularity

Several factors are driving the silver rally. Industrial demand from sectors like renewable energy and electronics has grown steadily. Supply shortages globally have tightened the market, limiting the availability of physical silver. Additionally, silver is regaining its appeal as a safe-haven asset, attracting both retail and institutional investors seeking diversification and protection against inflation.

With record-breaking prices, rising demand across industries, and renewed investor interest, silver is no longer just a supporting act, it’s now shining in its own right. Investors and traders are keeping a close eye, as the metal continues to capture global attention.
