Silver Price Hits Historic Rs 2 Lakh Per Kg: Global Shortage and Rising Industrial Demand Fuel Record Surge

Silver has reached an unprecedented milestone, touching Rs 2 lakh per kilogram for the first time in history. The white metal gained Rs 9,000 in a single day and has become Rs 16,000 costlier within just two days, marking one of the sharpest rallies the commodity market has witnessed in recent years.


Global Factors Behind the Price Surge

Market experts attribute the record-breaking rise to a global supply crunch and escalating industrial demand. A significant portion of silver stored at the London Metal Exchange (LME) has been shipped to the United States, leading to reduced availability across international markets.

At the same time, the demand for silver has grown rapidly in key industrial sectors such as electric vehicles (EVs), solar energy, electronics, and medical devices. Its growing use in clean-energy technology has made silver an essential industrial metal — not just a precious investment asset.

Rising Demand in India

In India, both retail and institutional investors are turning to silver as an affordable hedge against inflation and an alternative to gold. Wealthy investors, corporations, and financial institutions have increased their exposure to silver-backed assets and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Despite high imports since May, October witnessed major supply disruptions, pushing prices upward. The domestic rally has mirrored global trends, as investors look to safeguard wealth amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, inflationary pressures, and volatile stock markets.

Experts Explain the Trend

Financial analyst Trinath Lenka from Bhubaneswar said the sharp rise in prices reflects both limited supply and strong industrial demand.

“Silver is being used in a range of sectors — from electric vehicles and renewable energy to medicine and electronics. Supply chain disruptions and limited ETFs have intensified the demand. As gold becomes more expensive, investors are diversifying into silver. Global uncertainties and market volatility are also prompting people to prefer safe-haven assets like gold and silver,” he explained.

Silver vs Gold: A Changing Investment Landscape

Traditionally viewed as gold’s lesser counterpart, silver is now emerging as a leading investment choice. Its lower price point and dual role — as both an industrial and precious metal — make it attractive to a wider range of investors.

Analysts suggest that the metal’s performance could continue to outperform gold in the near term, particularly as clean-energy transitions accelerate and nations expand green infrastructure.

Outlook: Will the Rally Continue?

Economists believe silver’s momentum could persist through the next quarter if global supply remains tight and industrial demand continues to expand. For now, the metal’s unprecedented climb to Rs 2 lakh per kg stands as a symbol of shifting global investment patterns and the growing importance of sustainable industries.
