SEBI's New Gold, Silver ETF Rules: What Investors Need to Know from April 1

• SEBI is changing the valuation method for physical gold and silver in ETFs and mutual funds from April 1, 2026.
• NAV calculations will now use polled spot prices from Indian stock exchanges (MCX, NSE) instead of LBMA international prices.
• This aims to make valuations more transparent and aligned with domestic market realities, benefiting Indian investors.
• The change is expected to stabilize returns, reduce tracking errors, and simplify comparisons between Gold and Silver ETFs.
• Existing investors need no action; new investors should check NAV and tracking error details before investing.
