India’s Households Hold ~35,000 t Gold – Over Four Times U.S. Reserves
India’s private gold stock now totals about 34,600 tonnes, worth roughly $3.8 trillion. That dwarfs the U.S. official reserve of 8,100 tonnes, giving Indian households more than four‑times the gold held by the world’s largest central bank. The trove underpins credit growth and hints at policy pressure to mobilise the metal.
