India’s capital markets regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) Chairman, Tuhin Kanta Pandey, on Friday, 21 November 2025, clarified that the regulator is not considering any new rules framework for digital gold at this stage.
On the sidelines of the National Conclave on REITs and InvITs 2025, the Sebi chief said that in India, regulated gold-related investments can only be made through exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offered by mutual funds or through other tradable gold securities.
These gold ETFs and other tradable gold securities are the only alternative investment products which fall under Sebi’s regulatory purview, which the regulator continues to keep its focus on.
“Gold investment can be done either through gold investment ETFs, which mutual funds offer, or through tradable gold securities. These are the products included in the regulated space, so for now, we are focused only on these products,” Tuhin Kanta Pandey said.
