Gold imports zoom to around $24 billion during April-September 2021: Commerce Ministry

18 Oct 2021 Evaluate

The Commerce Ministry in its latest data has showed that gold imports, which have a bearing on the current account deficit, zoomed to about $24 billion during April-September 2021 due to higher demand in the country. Imports of the yellow metal were $6.8 billion in the corresponding period last year. Gold imports during September this year too rose to $5.11 billion as against $601.4 million in the same month last year.

On the other hand, the data showed silver imports dipped by 15.5 per cent to $619.3 million during April-September this fiscal. However, during September, these imports jumped to $552.33 million as against $9.23 million in September 2020. A significant jump in the gold imports has led to record widening of the country's trade deficit, difference between imports and exports, to $22.6 billion during September this fiscal as against $2.96 billion in the year-ago period.

India is the largest importer of gold, which mainly caters to the demand of the jewellery industry. In volume terms, the country imports 800-900 tonnes of gold annually. Gems and jewellery exports increased to $19.3 billion during the first half of the current fiscal as against $8.7 billion in the same period previous year.
