Silver Nears ₹1 Lakh: How to Invest? Top 5 Silver FoFs Delivering Up to 32.2% Returns in 1 Year!

Silver, long regarded as gold’s lesser-known counterpart, is gaining prominence as an essential commodity and investment asset. While traditionally valued for its ornamental and monetary uses, silver’s increasing industrial applications are driving demand, particularly in sectors like electronics, solar energy, and electric vehicles.
Silver’s Performance in the Indian and International Markets
As of March 13, 2025, silver prices in India are edging closer to the significant ₹1,00,000 mark. In international markets, silver is trading at $33.13 per ounce, reflecting strong momentum. On a year-to-date (YTD) basis, international silver prices have risen by 14.63%, while on a month-to-date (MTD) basis, they have climbed 6.34%.
Silver as an Investment Asset
Historically seen as a store of value alongside gold, silver’s investment potential is evolving due to its dual nature as both a monetary and industrial asset. Factors such as inflation hedging, currency depreciation concerns, and rising industrial demand have contributed to silver’s growing appeal among investors.
