Gold Investment: There has been a tremendous rise in gold prices this year. After touching the record level of Rs 1 lakh per 10 grams in April, gold has created new historical levels several times. In the year 2025, gold has become the most preferred investment compared to any share or other investment instrument. The shine of gold, which is considered a safe investment, is continuously increasing. In such a situation, the big question is that if a person invests five lakh rupees today, how much return can he get in the next five years i.e. till 2030.
ever-increasing shine of gold
Due to increased demand during the festive season of weddings, gold prices in Delhi’s bullion market increased by Rs 3,500 to Rs 1,28,900 per 10 grams on Tuesday (November 25). The falling trend that had been going on for the last three days was broken and the price of gold of 99.5% purity increased by Rs 3,500 to Rs 1,28,300 per 10 grams (including all taxes).
Along with gold, a rise was also seen in silver. Its price increased by Rs 5,800 to Rs 1,60,800 per kg (including tax). According to traders, prices have strengthened due to increased demand from local jewelers during the wedding season.
Why are prices increasing?
Due to continuous changes in global and domestic economic conditions, investors are again getting attracted towards gold. Inflation, global instability and economic uncertainty are further increasing the demand for gold. This is the reason why the discussion has intensified regarding the possible returns by 2030 on the current investment of Rs 5 lakh.
The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of gold from 2000 to 2025 has been approximately 14%. In these 25 years, only three years—2013, 2015 and 2021—were when prices declined.
Gold can touch new record
25 years ago i.e. in 2000, the price of 24 carat gold was Rs 4,400 per 10 grams, which has now increased to about Rs 1.25 lakh per 10 grams. Between 2000 and 2025, gold prices have seen an average annual increase of 25% to 35%. Market experts believe that gold will continue to give strong returns in the coming times also. That means, if you buy gold worth Rs 5 lakh today, your money can almost double by 2030.
Many reports estimate that if the current boom continues, gold may reach Rs 2,50,000 per 10 grams by 2030. Whereas some reports even claim that by 2030 the price of 10 grams of gold can go up to Rs 7 lakh to Rs 7.5 lakh. It is clear that if global uncertainty continues further, gold prices will continue to rise at a rapid pace and the chances of investors getting better returns will become stronger.
