How Is Instamart Delivering Gold Coins and 1 kg Silver Bricks Ahead of Diwali?
Swiggy’s quick-commerce arm Instamart is bringing a unique Diwali offer — the doorstep delivery of certified gold and silver. Just before Dhanteras, Instamart customers across major metros can order gold coins ranging from 0.1 g to 10 g and even 1 kg silver bricks, all delivered within 10–15 minutes. This festive move marks a significant diversification for the delivery giant into the precious-metals category.
The service goes live on Dhanteras, October 18 2025, between 7 AM and 10 PM, with deliveries available across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, and Ahmedabad. Instamart has joined hands with reputed jewellers such as Kalyan Jewellers, Malabar Gold & Diamonds, Muthoot Exim, MMTC-PAMP, Mia by Tanishq, Voylla, and Gullak to ensure every product is purity-certified and hallmark-verified.

Each gold coin delivered by Instamart bears 999 hallmark purity and carries no making charges. Silver coins and 1 kg silver bricks are fully certified for authenticity. This aligns with India’s rising demand for safe-haven assets during festive and geopolitical uncertainty periods, reflecting consumer appetite for instant access to tangible investments.
Experts note that online gold sales have surged by over 40 percent since 2023, led by trust in hallmarking and digital payment assurance. Quick-commerce firms see this Diwali as an inflection point for expanding beyond groceries into lifestyle and wealth categories.
However, buyers are advised to remain cautious. Cyber-fraud cases linked to fake gold coin listings have recently surfaced — including a case in Ahmedabad where a family reportedly lost ₹13 lakh to a fraudulent online seller. Verifying the transaction within official apps and insisting on digital receipts and hallmark certificates is essential.
