Silver: India's Affordable Precious Metal
In India, Silver is widely used in jewellery and increasingly in industrial applications. In 2000, silver traded around $5/oz (~₹7,000/kg).
- 2000-2011: Silver surged from $5 to $49 — nearly 900% returns.
- 2020-2026: Industrial demand (solar, EVs) pushed prices to around $33/oz (April 2026). Silver ETFs made investing accessible.
$1,000 (~₹45,000) from 2000 would be worth about $6,600 (~₹5.5 Lakh) today — roughly 560% over 26 years.
