Growth Opportunity In Bullion Market
According to Master Capital Services, India's bullion trading market covering gold, silver and other precious metals was valued at around ₹949 billion in FY20 and increased to ₹2,160 billion by FY25.
The bars and coins market grew 98.4% year-on-year in FY26 to ₹4,285 billion and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 19.6% between FY26 and FY30 to reach ₹8,768 billion.
The brokerage said Augmont Enterprises has an integrated presence across the gold and silver ecosystem, combining enterprise bullion trading through Augmont SPOT with consumer-facing digital gold and offline offerings through Augmont Gold For All.
Master Capital Services also highlighted the company's refining capacity, Jaipur jewellery manufacturing unit and GIFT City subsidiary for direct bullion imports as key strengths, while flagging risks from precious-metal price volatility, customer concentration and dependence on its online platforms.
