Silver Price Hits Record Highs: Experts Debate Sell or Invest Amid 1.5x Surge

• Silver prices have surged by nearly 1.5 times in 6-8 months, reaching Rs 1,80,000-Rs 1,91,000 per kg, a record high.
• The price increase is driven by limited supply (by-product mining), rising industrial demand (EVs, solar, electronics), and central bank investments.
• Experts predict silver could reach Rs 200,000/kg by year-end; advise short-term investment due to volatility and suggest booking profits.
• High volatility and increased prices have led to reduced customer demand in wholesale markets like Kucha Mahajani.

Why It Matters: Record silver prices impact investments and everyday purchasing power.
