Silver Prices Surge in India
On December 26, 2025, silver prices in India jumped to ₹2.40 lakh per kilogram, surpassing the earlier ₹2.32 lakh/kg level traders watched closely. This was a big one-day leap of ₹6,000 per kilogram from ₹2.34 lakh. Over five trading days, silver gained ₹21,000 per kilogram, showing strong momentum. Across major cities like Kolkata and Bangalore, the retail silver spot price hit:
- ₹240 per gram
- ₹2,400 per 10 grams
- ₹24,000 per 100 grams
- ₹2,40,000 per kilogram
This jump was boosted by festive season buying and growing needs from industries like electronics and solar power. From early December, silver moved from ₹1.86 lakh/kg on December 10 to ₹2.18 lakh/kg mid-month, based on ClearTax data. This consistent rise points to increased investor interest, especially from those looking to shield against inflation, along with rising industrial use.

Why Global Silver Prices Are Climbing
Globally, silver has seen daily gains between 4.3% and nearly 6% throughout December. By the month’s end, prices ranged from $77.92 to $79.11 per ounce. This meant a 46% monthly rise and a huge 166% increase over the year. The reasons behind this fast climb include:
- Tight Supply: Mining output is down, and stockpiles are shrinking.
- Growth in Green Energy: Solar panels, electric cars, and AI hardware need more silver.
- Strong South Asian Demand: Countries like India and Pakistan buy silver for jewelry, utensils, and investments.
These factors push silver prices higher worldwide, especially in countries dependent on imports like India and Pakistan.

Silver Market Trends in India and Pakistan
Pakistan’s silver market shows similar strong gains. A December 26 report by analyst Habib ur Rahman Baig noted the tola price rising from PKR 5,423 a month prior to about PKR 7,900. This mirrors the global rise near $74.72 per ounce. Increased industrial uses, jewelry making in India, and rising demand in Europe support this trend. Social media buzz in South Asia also reflects a bullish mood around silver. Many investors are using silver as a safe bet against inflation, encouraged by rising prices and growing use in green tech.
What’s Driving Silver’s Rise?
The silver price rally comes from several key causes:
- Twin Demand in India: Investors worried about inflation and factories needing silver.
- Short Supply: Mines produce less, and stocks are low even as demand climbs.
- Renewable Energy Push: Silver’s use in solar and AI keeps demand strong.
- Festive Season Buying: Year-end jewelry purchases in India and Pakistan rise.
- Speculative Trading: More traders join in as prices jump, adding to market action.

Price Fluctuations and Future Outlook
After hitting peaks in late December, silver prices showed some normal ups and downs. On December 27, prices briefly fell ₹2,000 to ₹94,000 per kilogram. This kind of pullback is typical after fast gains. However, experts expect silver prices to stay strong or rise more. Ongoing supply shortages and expanding industrial needs, especially in India and the green energy field, support this outlook.
