India has no plans to raise import duties on gold and silver, a government source said on May 11, a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged people to avoid buying gold for a year due to the impact of the Iran war. India is the world's second-largest consumer of gold and the largest consumer of silver.
A government source said on Monday that there are no immediate plans to hike taxes on precious metal inflows. This clarification comes one day after Modi cited the impact of the war as a reason to curb domestic demand.
