    India’s Gold Imports Surge 40.79% to USD 2.68 Billion in January: Rediff Moneynews

    February 17, 20252 Mins Read


    Gold imports in India rose significantly in January due to increased domestic demand, investor confidence, and global uncertainties. The imports pushed the country’s trade deficit to USD 23 billion.

    New Delhi, Feb 17 (PTI) The country’s gold imports in January rose by 40.79 per cent to USD 2.68 billion on account of increasing domestic demands, according to commerce ministry data.

    Gold imports stood at USD 1.9 billion in January 2024.

    Cumulatively, imports during April-January this fiscal year rose 32 per cent to USD 50 billion against USD 37.85 billion in the same period last fiscal year.

    The increase in imports also indicates strong investor confidence in the precious metal as a safe asset. The other reasons include asset diversification towards gold due to global uncertainties, increasing demand from banks, and cut in customs duties.

    Prices of the yellow metal have increased 11 per cent so far this year to Rs 88,200 per 10 gram in the national capital.

    India’s gold imports, which have a bearing on the country’s current account deficit (CAD), surged 30 per cent to USD 45.54 billion in 2023-24.

    Switzerland is the largest source of gold imports, with about 40 per cent share, followed by the UAE (over 16 per cent) and South Africa (about 10 per cent).

    The precious metal accounts for over 5 per cent of the country’s total imports.

    The jump in gold imports pushed the country’s trade deficit (difference between imports and exports) to USD 23 billion in January.

    India is the world’s second-biggest gold consumer after China. The imports mainly take care of the demand by the jewellery industry.

    Gems and jewellery exports last month rose by 15.95 per cent year-on-year to about USD 3 billion.

    The country’s silver imports in January rose by 82.84 per cent to USD 883.18 million.
