In an interview with Outlook Business earlier this month,\u00a0 Mr Ajay Seth, Secretary of the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) said, \u201cThe recent past experiences have been that this has been a rather fairy high-cost borrowings for the government. As a result, the government has chosen not to follow that path\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Budget 2025, it was officially confirmed that no new SGBs will be issued by RBI and the Government will pay for the rest of the SGBs available in the market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Options_available_to_Invest_in_Gold_without_Sovereign_Gold_Bonds\"><\/span><b>Options available to Invest in Gold without Sovereign Gold Bonds<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some ways to invest in gold after the discontinuation of SGB:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gold_ETFs_Exchange_Traded_Funds\"><\/span><b>Gold ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds)<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.torusdigital.com\/etf\/gold-etf\">Gold ETFs<\/a> (Exchange Traded Funds) represent physical gold in paper or dematerialised form.
