30 April 2026, BangaloreDhan, one of India’s fastest growing trading & investing platforms, announced the launch of ‘Gold Vault’ – a first-of-its-kind investment product that allows every Indian investor to buy physical Gold & Silver at live prices traded on stock exchanges.
Gold Vault by Dhan operates entirely within SEBI’s capital markets regulatory framework, giving investors a compliant way to buy physical gold and silver coins or assets at live MCX-linked prices. The physical delivery of the settlement is facilitated by MCXCCL with institutional-grade secure vaulting, so investors can securely store their bullion assets.
Traditionally, buying Gold in India has had its own trade-offs between fair pricing, secure ownership, authenticity of Gold or Silver, and lack of regulatory frameworks. Gold Vault by Dhan changes all of this at its core, price discovery happens directly on the exchanges, every purchase is made transparent at real market prices, and investors can choose to trade in Gold or Silver Futures contracts at live exchange rates, and then opt for physical delivery of these bullion assets. This brings trust, purity and security together under the exchange and regulatory frameworks.
Every gram of Gold or Silver that a user buys is settled through MCX / MCXCCL, India’s trusted commodity exchange and clearing corporation. The price comes directly from the MCX exchange without markup, hidden spreads, or surprises.
Once the Gold or Silver contracts are physically settled, they are delivered and stored in exchange regulated, MCX – partnered vaults via ComRIS accounts for users. These are the same institutional-grade facilities used by large financial players and now available to retail investors for the first time.
“Gold has always been the most trusted store of value for Indian families, however the experience of actually buying, holding, and trusting digital gold has been outside regulatory purview. While building Gold Vault, we asked a simple question – what would it take for an investor to feel completely safe buying & owning Gold or Silver digitally? The answer was exchange settlement contracts, regulated vaulting, and zero counterparty risk. We built exactly that. Gold Vault by Dhan is the product Indian investors have always wanted, and we’re proud to be the first to deliver it,” said Mr.Pravin Jadhav, Founder & CEO of Dhan.
“The MCX infrastructure for physical gold settlement has existed for years. No retail platform had ever brought it directly to individual investors. We’ve changed that with Gold Vault by Dhan. By routing every purchase through actual MCX futures settlement and MCXCCL clearing, we’ve eliminated the structural risks that have quietly plagued digital gold products in India. The price is exchange-benchmarked, the delivery is physically settled, and the storage is institutionally regulated. For the first time, a retail investor gets the same gold ownership framework that sophisticated market participants have always had access to,” added Mr.Jay Prakash Gupta, Founder & COO of Dhan.
“This marks a meaningful step forward in making gold investing more transparent, accessible, and secure for investors across India. By combining Exchange-led liquidity and price discovery with regulated infrastructure, investors can now invest in gold via futures with confidence, backed by transparent pricing, settlement, secure vaulting and seamless delivery,” said Ms. Praveena Rai, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, MCX.
Gold Vault by Dhan is available now to all Dhan users on the Dhan app. Investors can get started directly within the app.
