India’s Gold ETF Inflows Hit Record ₹250 Billion, Surpassing Equity Funds

There is credible evidence that precious metal ETFs (gold and silver combined) saw inflows surpassing equity funds, but the exact claim that gold ETF inflows alone reached ₹250 billion is not directly substantiated by the provided sources. A reputable broker newsletter reports ₹33,500 crore into gold and silver ETFs versus ₹24,000 crore into equity funds, which supports the 'surpassed equity funds' part for the precious metals category but does not isolate gold at ₹250 billion. An article noting India's gold ETFs at a record ~$10 billion AUM speaks to assets, not net inflows, and therefore does not confirm the ₹250 billion figure. References to AMFI as the authoritative body are present, but the linked AMFI page does not provide the relevant flow data, and secondary current affairs notes citing AMFI lack accessible, specific figures. Given the absence of a primary, explicit figure for ₹250 billion in gold ETF inflows within these sources, the surpassing aspect appears plausible, while the precise ₹250 billion number remains unverified.
