Silver’s long-term price journey highlights how momentum has accelerated over time
Silver prices in India have delivered a striking long-term trajectory over the past two decades. On November 17, 2005, silver traded near ₹12,000 per kilogram, a level that few would have imagined multiplying so sharply. It took nearly 4,730 days for prices to move from ₹70,000 to ₹80,000 per kg, reflecting gradual accumulation. In contrast, the rise from ₹1.90 lakh to ₹2 lakh occurred far more quickly, underscoring how momentum and demand have intensified in recent years.
