Silver remains an attractive alternative investment for Indian retail buyers seeking diversification and inflation protection. With rising industrial demand from solar, EVs and electronics, silver prices are expected to stay firm in 2025. Investors can participate through physical bars, coins, silver ETFs and digital silver platforms with low entry points. Unlike gold, silver offers higher volatility and potential upside. Analysts suggest allocating 10% of portfolios to silver for long-term value appreciation and hedging benefits against currency and commodity fluctuations.
