World Gold Council's Swarnim Udaan roadmap targets greater domestic gold mining, recycling and financialisation, global leadership in jewellery manufacturing and exports, and stronger Gen Z retail jewellery demand in India.

Why this matters

The roadmap extends WGC’s recent India agenda: sourcing 20% of gold demand domestically by 2047, seeking strategic-mineral status for gold, and tracking Gen Z’s shift to digital and customised buying.
