According to the latest World Gold Council report, global central banks added 220 tonnes of gold in Q3 2025 — up nearly 10 % year-on-year and 28 % from the prior quarter.
For India, this matters because the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has boosted its reserves by around 600 kg between April–September 2025, taking holdings to ~880 tonnes. This trend underlines that gold remains a strategic asset for sovereigns and may indirectly influence retail investment sentiment in India.
