Silver from ₹10 to ₹300 a gram: how long each level took

The climb, level by level

Silver stood at ₹7 when our daily record begins on 30 August 2000. It first closed at or above ₹10 on 1 March 2004 and at or above ₹300 on 26 January 2026. Prices are the India rate in rupees per gram; here is when each round figure first appeared.

Each row is the first daily close at or above the level, not the first intraday touch, and not a promise that the level held: Silver has since closed below ten of these levels after first reaching them. The record starts on 30 August 2000 at ₹7.

Fastest and slowest legs

• Fastest: from ₹250 to ₹300 took 12 days (14 January 2026 to 26 January 2026).
• Slowest: from ₹50 to ₹75 took 13.1 years (2 March 2011 to 11 April 2024).

The legs are not equal in percentage terms: ₹1,000 on top of ₹1,000 is a doubling, while ₹1,000 on top of ₹10,000 is 10%. The early legs look quick in rupees and slow in percentage, and the late ones are the reverse.

Where it stands

The highest close on record is ₹339 on 26 January 2026. On 21 October 2026 Silver was at ₹175, 48.3% below that peak and below the ₹300 level it first reached on 26 January 2026.

Reading the table

• Round numbers are a way to read history, not a signal. Nothing about ₹300 makes it more or less likely to hold than ₹301.
• A metal pays no income, so its price is the whole return; compare it with an index only after allowing for that.
• The series is the India rate per gram, which includes the rupee's moves against the dollar.
