An NRI gets several options for investing in gold in India. It includes gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and gold mutual funds. They can also invest in physical gold items like jewelry, bars, or coins. However, they are prohibited from investing in Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs).

They can make the investments through NRE/NRO accounts. Additionally, NRIs can bring physical gold to India within the specified limit, subject to customs duty if an individual has stayed abroad for over a year. Then, the duty-free limit is 40 grams for women and 20 grams for men.
