Take a Poll

The relationship between gold prices and car prices over the decades paints a fascinating picture. Here's a look at how the price of gold has evolved in comparison to the types of cars you could purchase with 1 kg of gold:

• 1990: 1 kg of gold could buy a Maruti 800, the most affordable car of the time.
• 2000: By this year, 1 kg of gold could get you a Maruti Suzuki Esteem, a step up in luxury.
• 2005: The value of 1 kg of gold had risen enough to buy a Toyota Innova, a spacious family vehicle.
• 2010: As gold prices continued to increase, 1 kg could now buy a Toyota Fortuner, a premium SUV.
• 2019: By 2019, 1 kg of gold could afford you a BMW X1, an entry-level luxury SUV.
• 2025: 1 kg of gold could afford you a BMW X3 and Audi A4, S5, A6, and Q3.
• 2040 (Predicted): If the current trend continues, 1 kg of gold may soon be enough to purchase a Private Jet.

A SEBI registered research analyst AK Mandhan in his tweet on March 16, highlighted how gold prices have changed in comparison to cars. In 1990, 1 kg of gold was enough to buy a Maruti 800. By the year 2000, Maruti Suzuki Esteem could be purchased with it. In 2005, it was enough to buy a Toyota Innova. By 2010, a Toyota Fortuner could be purchased. By 2019, 1 kg of gold was enough to buy a BMW X1. He also suggested that if you hold on to 1 kg of gold until 2040, it might just be enough to purchase a private jet.

He tweeted, "Keep 1 kg of gold and wait till 2040... maybe you can buy a private jet.' Gold prices have been rising rapidly for the last three years. In 2024, it performed the best in the last ten years. Last year, the price of gold increased by 26%. Gold's shine increased due to the purchases of central banks and tension in the world."

How Far Will Gold Prices Go?

The dramatic rise in gold prices has prompted many to wonder just how far the value of the precious metal will continue to climb. According to Mr. Mandhan, the gold prices have been increasing rapidly, especially in recent years. In 2024, gold posted its best performance in the last decade, with a 26% increase. In 2025, the price of gold has already risen by 15%, equating to an increase of ₹11,735 per 10 grams.

Goldman Sachs Research forecasts that gold will climb a further 8% to $3,100 per troy ounce by the end of 2025. Gold's rise is largely driven by central bank purchases and global geopolitical tensions, with experts predicting that the rally will continue.

As per the World Gold Council, expectation is growing that seasonal factors (auspicious days and festivals) and wedding related purchases could lend support to gold demand over the next couple of months. This may not, however, fully compensate for the price-driven constraints in jewellery demand.

Why Rise in Gold Prices?

Experts point to several factors contributing to the rise in gold prices, including global instability. Tensions in the Middle East and China's economic stimulus plans have sparked increased demand for gold as a safe haven asset. As people look for security amidst uncertainty, gold continues to shine as a trusted investment.

The timeline of gold prices versus car prices clearly illustrates how gold's purchasing power has evolved. From the Maruti 800 in 1990 to luxury cars like the BMW X1 and potentially private jets by 2040, gold's value continues to grow. With an ever-increasing demand for gold, the future could hold even more remarkable opportunities for gold investors.
