Gold ETFs see 78% dip in inflows
Business
Gold ETFs took a sharp 78% dip in inflows in February 2026, landing at ₹5,254 crore, way down from January 2026's all-time high of ₹24,040 crore.
So while February looked slow, gold is still having a big year (2026).
Why the sharp drop?
January's spike was fueled by economic uncertainty and people wanting to spread out their investments.
But after gold prices hit over ₹1.9 lakh per 10gm, many investors cashed out for profits and shifted focus back to equities.
Trading volumes also cooled off from January's frenzy.
Inflows hit ₹1.83 lakh crore mark
Nippon India ETF Gold BeES had elevated inflows in January.
By early February, total holdings across Indian gold ETFs stood at about ₹1.83 lakh crore.
