Hundreds of gold of 12.5 kg gold closed in the vault, know who has so much gold in the country
To gold The attraction is not just among the common people. You will be surprised to know that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) also loves gold. Due to this, RBI is increasing its reserves by purchasing gold year after year. Let us tell you that the Reserve Bank has a gold brick weighing 12.5 kg. He keeps the gold brick of such heavy weight in the vault made in its various places. This information has been received from a documentary film made on RBI. Like every household in the country, RBI understands the importance of gold. This is the reason why it has increased the gold reserves many times after the 1991 economic crisis and currently it has reached about 870 tonnes.
You will be able to see RBI chest in the documentary
The RBI has not only made public its actions and roles through its recently released documentary film, but has also shown a glimpse of its gold vault (gold chest) for the first time. In the series called ‘RBI Unlocked: Beyond The Rupee’, you will get a chance to see RBI gold reserves. The documentary states that India is one of the countries in the world where currency notes are produced the most. While about 5,000 crore notes in the US, 2,900 crore notes are in circulation in Europe, in India this figure has reached 13,000 crore notes (as per the position of May 2, 2025). Overall, the value of the currency note present in the country in the country is Rs 38.1 lakh crore.
Gold is not just a metal, the strength of the country
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) officials say that gold is not just a metal, but the strength of the country. They believe that even though economic fluctuations keep coming in the country, gold always maintains its permanent value. According to RBI data, the price of India’s gold reserves declined by $ 57.3 million to $ 85.74 billion in the week ended June 20. The documentary ‘RBI Unlocked: Beyond the Rupee’ also states that today all important materials related to currency notes like printing such as machines, ink and paper are prepared in the country.
The risk of fake notes decreased
Now the country has gained self -sufficiency in currency printing, which has reduced the risk of fake notes and India’s currency system has become more secure than ever. In 2010, it was found that high quality fake notes looked like real notes. Keeping this challenge in mind, the RBI established modern factories in Dewas (Madhya Pradesh), Salboni (West Bengal), Nashik and Mysore (Karnataka) to make the productive form of currency paper indigenous. Today, whatever note is used in making paper, it is prepared from ‘cotton vest’ (cotton vest) manufactured in India, and all components including printing, ink also come from domestic sources. This is an excellent example of ‘Make in India’. According to RBI, our bank notes have more than 50 security features. Apart from well-known features such as safety thread and latant image, there are many secret layers, which can only be identified with specialized equipment.
