Gold imports
Gold imports jumped more than 11 times to $7.9 billion (Rs 58,573) crore during the April-June quarter of FY22, the high number being attributed to the low base effect in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to Union commerce ministry data.
Imports of the yellow metal had plunged to $688 million (Rs 5,209 crore) in Q1 of FY21.
Silver imports, however, dipped by almost 94% per cent to $39.4 million in Q1 of the current financial year.
Significant increase in gold imports has led to widening of the trade deficit about $31 billion in April-June quarter this year. The difference between imports and exports is called trade deficit.
India is the largest importer of gold, which mainly caters to the demand of the jewellery industry. In volume terms, the country imports approximately 900-1000 tonnes of gold annually.
