The regulator wants gold & silver ETFs to use real-time domestic spot prices from Indian commodity exchanges instead of relying on international benchmarks.
Currently, ETFs use LBMA prices in USD, convert to INR, then add varying markups. That leads to inconsistent valuations across funds.
Gold & silver ETF valuations would be based on spot prices polled from MCX and other SEBI‑regulated exchanges, offering more accurate, supply-demand-driven pricing.
SEBI suggests: – A clear polling methodology – Applying a trimmed mean to remove outliers – Disclosure of poll participants and procedures
With gold ETFs experiencing surging inflows recently, investors require consistent and reliable valuations amid global uncertainty.
SEBI is inviting public comments on this proposal until August 6, 2025—seeking input on benchmarks, polling, and transparency standards.
– Uniform pricing across gold/silver ETFs – Less disparity between funds – Enhanced trust in valuations
