For more than two decades, gold has been providing huge returns to Indian investors. The faith that people have in gold remains constant. While in the year 2000, the price of 24 carat gold was only Rs 4,400 per 10 grams, today, in October 2025, the same gold has crossed Rs 1.32 lakh per 10 grams. In this era of inflation and economic uncertainty, gold is once again strengthening its reputation as a “safe investment”. Interestingly, over the last 25 years, gold has given an average annual return of 14.6 percent. Which is much more than any traditional savings scheme or bank deposit. If this pace continues, gold prices may reach a different level by 2050. Let us try to understand what could be the price of 10 grams of gold in the next 25 years? Also, how many grams of gold will be available for one crore rupees in the year 2050?
Why is the attraction of gold continuously increasing?
Over the last 25 years, whenever assets like the stock market or bonds have lost their luster, gold has strengthened its hold. In times of inflation, economic uncertainty and currency instability, gold has always been a reliable and safe investment for investors. Continuous buying by central banks and big investors has also supported its prices.
Increase of more than 67 percent in the last one year
In just one year, the price of gold (24 carat) has increased by more than 67 percent. The weakness of the dollar, rising geopolitical tensions, trade tariff tensions and uncertainty in the global economy have further increased the demand for gold. Demand for the festive season and weddings in India has also kept gold prices high in the domestic market.
How much gold is available for Rs 1 crore?
If someone buys gold worth Rs 1 crore today, i.e. in October 2025, he will get approximately 758 grams (0.76 kg) of gold. By October 21, 2025, the price of gold is expected to be Rs 1.32 lakh per 10 grams.
How much return did gold give in the last 25 years?
In October 2000, the price of gold (24 carat) was Rs 4,400 per 10 grams, and in October 2025, it is now above Rs 1.32 lakh per 10 grams. This means that gold has given an annual return of 14.6 percent in the last 25 years.
What will be the price of 10 grams in 2050?
If the annual return in gold prices continues at 14.6 percent in the next 25 years i.e. till 2050, then the price of 10 grams of gold can reach Rs 40 lakh. This means that it can increase up to 300 times in the next 25 years.
How much gold will you get for one crore?
If the price of 10 grams of gold can reach Rs 40 lakh in the year 2050, then investors will get only 25 grams of gold for Rs 1 crore. Whereas at present 758 grams of gold is available for Rs 1 crore.
Prices may also change
However, these calculations are based only on estimates. Gold prices depend on many domestic and global factors, such as interest rates, dollar status, central bank policies and the state of the global economy. Therefore, the price of gold in 2050 may be more or less than Rs 40 lakh per 10 grams. If the same pace of the last 25 years continues, then gold can once again prove to be an inflation-beating investment. But, like every investment, there are ups and downs. It is certain that gold is likely to retain its status as a “safe investment” in the coming decades.
