Silver Breaks All Records, Hits Rs 3 Lakh/Kg for First Time in History

• Silver prices have surged to an unprecedented Rs 3,06,000 per kilogram on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), marking a historic high.
• The price of silver has increased by Rs 1 lakh in just the last 30 days, reaching Rs 3 lakh from Rs 2,03,500 on December 19, 2025.
• Market experts attribute the price explosion to high demand in China, driven by its solar panel and EV industries, where silver is a crucial raw material.
• Global events like the US-Iran conflict and increased industrial demand for green energy technologies are also contributing to the price hike.
• While investors in silver have seen significant returns, common consumers face affordability issues for physical silver, leading to a rise in 'digital silver' and 'silver ETFs' investments.
