Indian household asset allocation shifts: Gold share jumps from 15% to 24% in 3 years; equity barely moves | Mint
Indian households are parking more wealth in gold, not equities. Gold's share rose from 15.4% in March 2023 to 24.2% in March 2026, while equities barely moved, from 5.6% to 5.7%. Property and bank deposits both lost ground. So before you chase market-linked products, check whether your own mix matches your long-term goals and comfort with risk.
