Why Has Gold Surged So Sharply from Dhanteras 2024 to 2025?
Gold, the timeless symbol of prosperity, has once again proved its resilience. Between Dhanteras 2024 and 2025, the price of 24K gold per 10 grams soared from ₹76,250 to ₹1,32,770 — a jump of nearly 74% within a single year. This unprecedented rise has reignited investor interest ahead of the festive season, reinforcing gold’s reputation as the ultimate safe-haven asset.
The surge in gold prices reflects multiple converging factors — global inflationary pressure, geopolitical tensions, currency fluctuations, and sustained demand from both retail and institutional investors. Historically, gold has offered consistent long-term returns even when equity markets faltered, making it an essential component of any diversified investment portfolio.

Why Gold Remains Irreplaceable
Despite the rise of digital assets and equity markets, gold retains unique advantages. It’s liquid, globally recognized, inflation-resistant, and emotionally tied to Indian culture. The festive demand around Dhanteras and Diwali often creates short-term price spikes — but over the long run, gold’s appeal lies in its ability to preserve purchasing power across generations.
- ✅ Acts as a hedge against inflation and rupee depreciation
- ✅ Offers portfolio stability during market turbulence
- ✅ Serves as a long-term wealth preservation tool
As central banks continue to diversify away from the US dollar, the structural demand for gold is expected to persist globally. India, being one of the world’s largest consumers, will remain a key driver of price momentum.
