Title
The Strategic Revaluation of Silver: An Analysis of Industrial Scarcity, Monetary Formalization, and Technological Substitution in the Indian Context
Abstract
Abstract: This research dives into the structural transformation of silver from a precious metal to a critical industrial and strategic reserve asset. As of February 2026, the silver market is undergoing a period of intense price discovery, driven by five key determinants: (1) the rapid adoption of N-type photovoltaic technologies (TOPCon and HJT) and AI data center cooling; (2) a persistent global supply deficit exacerbated by China’s 2026 export quotas; (3) the RBI’s 2025/26 mandate to monetize silver as bank collateral; (4) macroeconomic shifts following the appointment of hawkish leadership at the US Federal Reserve; and (5) the emerging substitution risk from silver-coated copper and "de-silvered" solar cells. Using a multi-factor valuation model, this study analyzes the recent February 1, 2026, market correction and projects a 12-month domestic target price. The findings suggest that while technological "thrifting" serves as a long-term price ceiling, the formalization of silver within India’s financial ecosystem provides a new, robust support floor, reinforcing silver’s status as the "Indispensable Metal" of the energy transition.
