If You Invest ₹2 Lakh in Gold Today, How Much Will It Be Worth by 2030?
Investor interest in gold continues to rise amid global inflation, economic uncertainty, and fluctuating international markets. With the wedding season underway and gold prices climbing steadily, many are wondering how much returns a gold investment can generate in the coming years.
Currently, 22-carat gold costs ₹12,070 per gram (₹96,560 per sovereign), while 24-carat gold is priced at ₹1,29,820 for 10 grams. Over the past 25 years, gold has delivered a strong CAGR of around 14%, nearly doubling every 5–6 years.
What if you invest ₹2 lakh today?
Based on the long-term CAGR of 14%, an investment of ₹2 lakh today is estimated to grow to around ₹4 lakh by 2030, effectively doubling in value. Experts say gold is likely to maintain strong performance due to ongoing global uncertainties.
Optimistic global forecasts
Some international reports predict a sharper rise in gold prices if global demand accelerates. Analysts suggest that by 2030, the price of 10 grams of gold could reach ₹2,50,000 to ₹5,00,000.
If this happens, a ₹2 lakh investment today could be worth ₹5 lakh to ₹8 lakh, generating significantly higher returns.
These estimates depend on market conditions, but current trends indicate that gold will remain a strong and stable investment option in the years ahead.
