There is a continuous rise in the prices of silver.
Seeing the speed of silver, every investor in the world has gone crazy. Such speed has never been seen before in silver. Due to which silver prices have reached record levels. There is a continuous increase in silver. Experts say that the rise in silver prices is not going to stop. In the coming financial year, silver prices are going to reach a level which no one would have expected till a few months ago. According to the report titled “Silver 2030 – Unprecedented Growth” of Motilal Oswal Financial Services (MOFSL), silver is going through a long-term bullish phase. Which may see an increase of 50 percent in its prices by 2027. This means that the price of silver can increase from the current $51 per ounce to $75-77 per ounce. If we talk about India, the price of silver can go up to Rs 2.45 lakh.
Why is silver rising?
- It is a precious metal like gold, which is used as a safe investment in uncertain times.
- It is an important industrial metal, needed for solar panels, electric vehicles (EV), 5G and even AI hardware.
- Globally, about 60 percent of silver demand is industrial. Mainly more demand is being seen from clean energy and tech.
- Motilal Oswal said in the report that if the dollar price of silver reaches the bullish target of $ 70 an ounce by 2027 and the rupee falls to the estimated upper range of 92-95, then good returns can be seen for Indian investors.
Decline in supply?
Globally silver production has been less than demand for seven consecutive years. This reduction is expected to continue. Mining supply cannot increase rapidly because silver is produced primarily as a byproduct of other metals such as zinc and copper. Due to which the market may remain very tight, further decline may be seen in the stock, due to which there may be a further rise in the prices of silver.
Will investors benefit?
For Indian investors, the future is even brighter. Silver prices are pegged to US dollars, and the rupee is expected to depreciate to around 92-95 per US dollar by 2027, so silver returns in rupee terms may increase. MOFSL estimates that due to this double bounce from both global prices and currency movements, silver could reach Rs 2,45,000 per kg by 2026-27. Silver also moves 1.7 times faster than gold – which means it can rise faster (and fall faster).
The scope for investing in silver in India is expanding rapidly, moving beyond traditional cultural demand towards institutional and retail investment vehicles. Silver ETFs in India are significantly outperforming 2025, and are up nearly 69 per cent year to date. This performance has attracted significant investment, as evidenced by the 180% increase in monthly silver ETF investments in August 2025.
