The demand for silver is currently seeing an exponential rise in India amid the ongoing festive season. However, according to a Reuters report, global silver demand has exceeded supply for four consecutive years, erasing the surplus accumulated over the previous five.
While India is the biggest consumer of silver in the world, it relies on imports to meet more than 80% of its demand. However, while investment demands have surged, imports have reportedly fallen 42% in India over the first eight months of 2025.
