As Akshaya Tritiya approaches on April 19, 2026, the bullion market presents an intriguing scenario for investors in India. Gold is currently priced at ₹1,54,650 per 10 grams, reflecting a 63% increase since last year. In contrast, silver has outperformed with a 165% surge, now trading at approximately ₹2,54,650 per kg, driven by industrial demand and geopolitical tensions. Analysts suggest that while both metals may face short-term consolidation, the medium-term outlook remains favorable. Kaynat Chainwala from Kotak Securities advises maintaining a 8-15% gold allocation in portfolios, while also incorporating silver, which should comprise 20-25% of precious metals investments. Hareesh V from Geojit Investments recommends a 10-15% allocation to gold, with silver as a minor diversifier below 5%. Ajay Kedia from Kedia Advisory predicts that gold could reach ₹2,00,000–₹2,10,000 and silver ₹3,20,000–₹3,30,000 in the next year, suggesting a monthly SIP approach for investments. Overall, a balanced strategy focusing on both metals is encouraged for long-term wealth preservation.
