Commerce Ministry to soon arrange meeting with jewellers on gold import issues

07 Jan 2015 Evaluate

Amid rising concerns over the increasing gold imports over the past few months, Commerce Ministry will soon hold a meeting with gems and jewellery exporters to discuss issues regarding gold imports for the sector.  Commerce Ministry is likely to discuss ways to ensure smooth supply of gold for exporters without putting pressure on the Current Account Deficit (CAD) situation. The meeting will examine the impact of detached 80:20 rule under which 20 percent of the imported gold had to be mandatorily exported before bringing in new lot.

Gold imports shot up by 571% to $5.6 billion in November from $0.83 billion a year earlier. Merchandise imports also grew at a faster clip in November due to a sudden spike in the import of gold. India’s imports during November rose by 26.79% y-o-y to $42.82 billion. Owing to high imports, trade deficit during November widened to around double on annual bias. India’s trade deficit widened to 18-month high of $16.86 billion in month of November, as compared to $9.57 in the same month previous year and $13.36 billion in the previous month of October.

Rising trade deficit over the past two month has been exerting pressure on country’s external sector as well as the domestic currency. The Indian rupee slumped to around 63.45 per dollar. India's CAD for the second quarter of the current financial year widened to $10.1 billion or 2.1% of GDP as against $5.2 billion or 1.2% of GDP in the same quarter of the previous year.
