Dhan today announced the launch of ‘Gold Vault’, a first-of-its-kind offering that enables Indian retail investors to buy gold and silver directly at live, exchange-traded prices. Linked to Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX), the product allows users to participate in bullion futures contracts and opt for physical delivery.
Gold Vault operates within the regulatory framework of Securities and Exchange Board of India, with transactions backed by MCX, its clearing arm MCXCCL, and institutional-grade vaults. This ensures transparent pricing, secure settlement, and regulated storage—addressing long-standing concerns around trust, purity, and price discovery in traditional gold buying.
Investors can purchase gold and silver at real-time MCX prices without markups or hidden spreads. Once contracts are physically settled, the bullion is stored in exchange-regulated vaults via ComRIS accounts, with the option for convenient home delivery.
“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 Pravin Jadhav, Founder & CEO, 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 Jay Prakash Gupta, Founder & COO, 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 Praveena Rai, Managing Director & CEO, MCX.
Gold Vault is now available to all users on the Dhan app.
