This Week’s Spotlight Story

A deep dive into the headline that defined market conversations.

India’s Trade Deficit Hit An All-Time High Of $41.68 Billion In October On Surging Gold Imports

India’s merchandise trade deficit soared to a record $41.68 billion in October 2025, the highest ever monthly gap, according to Commerce Ministry data. The spike was driven by a jump in gold imports to $14.72 billion amid festive-season demand, elevated global prices, and restocking by jewellers, even as merchandise exports slumped 11.8% year-on-year (YoY) to $34.38 billion. Total imports jumped to $76.06 billion, a 16.6% increase from last year, largely on account of precious metals and fertilizers, with gold and silver alone contributing a significant portion of the widening gap.

The steep rise in gold shipments was coupled with weak global demand for Indian goods due to higher US tariffs and overall slowdown in major markets, especially for key sectors like engineering, textiles, and chemicals. Exports to the US, India’s top trading partner, slipped further while global commodity trends and festival-related stockpiling exacerbated the situation. Non-oil and non-gem imports also continued to expand, pointing to robust domestic demand but adding to external imbalances.
