Gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded net inflows of ₹2,189.5 crore in August 2025, according to data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI). This was the fourth consecutive month of positive flows, following ₹1,256 crore in July 2025.
The total assets under management (AUM) of gold ETFs touched ₹72,495.6 crore in August 2025, marking a new high. The increase reflected both rising investor allocations and higher bullion prices during the month.
The average gold spot price on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) stood at ₹99,626 per 10 grams in August, representing a 4% rise compared with July. Despite the price increase, investors refrained from booking profits, keeping inflows intact.
Worldwide, gold ETFs also saw growth. The World Gold Council (WGC) reported inflows of $5.5 billion in August, the third month in a row of additions. This pushed global AUM up by 5% to $407 billion, the highest ever recorded at month-end.
The broader mutual fund industry reported net inflows of ₹52,442.78 crore in August, compared with ₹1.79 lakh crore in July 2025. Actively managed equity funds contributed ₹33,417 crore, lower than July’s ₹42,702 crore.
Within equities, large-cap funds registered inflows of ₹2,835 crore in August against ₹2,125 crore in July. Mid-cap funds saw ₹5,331 crore, slightly higher than ₹5,182 crore earlier. Small-cap funds received ₹4,993 crore, down from ₹6,484 crore in July 2025.
