Inflows into Gold Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) in India cooled slightly in October 2025, slipping 7% month-on-month to ₹7,743 crore, compared with ₹8,363 crore in September, according to data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI).
Gold ETF Monthly Trend
The moderation follows an exceptional 282% jump in September from August’s inflows of ₹2,189 crore, marking one of the strongest months on record for gold-backed investments.
Despite the sequential dip, October’s inflows were still up 295% year-on-year, significantly higher than ₹1,961 crore recorded in October 2024. This indicates continued investor confidence in gold as a strategic hedge amid global economic uncertainties.
So far in calendar year 2025, total inflows into gold ETFs have reached ₹27,572 crore, reflecting sustained interest from both retail and institutional investors.
Comparative ETF Performance
Investor appetite for other commodity ETFs, such as silver-based funds, also remained positive but lower than previous months.
- Inflows into other ETFs stood at ₹6,181 crore in October, compared with ₹8,150 crore in September and ₹7,244 crore in August.
Assets Under Management Cross ₹1 Lakh Crore
The total assets under management (AUM) of gold ETFs surpassed ₹1.02 lakh crore in October — a key milestone that underscores their growing acceptance as a long-term portfolio diversifier and a preferred investment vehicle during periods of market volatility.
Summary:
While October saw a mild dip after September’s record run, the broader trend points to robust investor demand for gold ETFs, driven by their resilience, liquidity, and role as an inflation hedge.
