India’s Strategic Gold Comeback: RBI Repatriates 64 Tonnes Amid Global Uncertainty

Between March and September 2025, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) brought back a significant 64 tonnes of gold from overseas vaults, marking a key milestone in India’s long-term effort to repatriate 274 tonnes of gold that began in 2023. This strategic move strengthens India’s financial foundation amid rising global geopolitical tensions and economic volatility.
Why This Move Matters
Historically, India’s gold reserves were stored in foreign vaults — primarily with the Bank of England (UK) and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Switzerland. These institutions collectively safeguarded nearly 290 tonnes of India’s gold. However, recent global conflicts and the freezing of foreign-held assets have exposed the risks of keeping critical reserves abroad.
By repatriating gold to domestic vaults in Mumbai and Nagpur, the RBI is reinforcing the nation’s financial sovereignty and reducing dependence on international custodians.
Strengthening National Financial Security
Gold remains a timeless store of value — a hedge against inflation, currency depreciation, and market instability. As of September 2025, India’s total gold reserves stand at 880.8 tonnes, with over 575 tonnes now stored within the country. This strategic shift has increased gold’s share in India’s total foreign exchange reserves to nearly 14%, signaling a diversified and resilient reserve management approach.
A Symbol of Economic Resilience
In an era of financial warfare, this repatriation is more than symbolic — it’s a statement of economic independence. By reclaiming physical control of its gold, India is asserting a powerful stance in the global monetary system, ensuring that its assets remain secure, accessible, and aligned with national interests.
