India Sees Shift in Gold Sourcing and Surge in Silver Imports After Regulatory Changes
India's gold and silver imports are shifting due to regulatory changes and global factors. Gold imports fell 27.3% in April-September, with increased sourcing from Chile and Burkina Faso as domestic refiners prefer gold doré. Traditional suppliers like Switzerland and the UAE still dominate. Meanwhile, silver imports surged at the India International Bullion Exchange after new licensing rules in May required importers to obtain permits, leading to renewed trading activity and increased imports through the exchange.
