Import of refined gold might stop in three to five years, claim experts. At present, India’s annual gold consumption is about 800-900 tonnes, of which about 750 tonnes is imported. However, domestically refined gold has been becoming more and more important.
“India will stop importing gold in five years,” said Rajesh Khoshla, a veteran of the Indian bullion industry and chairman emeritus of MMTC-PAMP. He added that domestic refineries will meet the entire demand.
This will include gold refined from imported doré bars, recycled metal, mobilisation through monitisation, as well as mining of about 100-150 tonnes. This will replace imported refined gold.Khoshla was speaking at 6th India International Bullion summit, organised by the Indian Bullion and Jewellers Association.
In 2018, India’s refined gold imports according to the World Gold Council data, was 479 tonnes. This included gold imported for re-export. Gold refined from imported doré was 275 tonnes, recycled gold was 87 tonnes, and 8.6 tonnes from mines and other sources.
