In Indian homes, gold has always occupied a special place. People buy it for weddings, festivals, wealth preservation, and increasingly, as an investment.
Investors now have multiple options to own or invest in gold without buying jewellery. While physical coins and bars continue to be a popular choice for gold investing, alternatives like Gold ETFs (exchange-traded funds), Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs), digital gold, and Electronic Gold Receipts (EGRs) have emerged in recent years.
