India’s June trade deficit widens 59% to $30.43 billion as imports outpace exports
AI Market Summary
India's June trade deficit widened to $30.43B as import growth (31% YoY) outpaced exports, driven mainly by higher global crude and precious metal prices rather than volumes. Elevated gold and gems imports highlight price-led demand and can influence near-term bullion flows and regional liquidity conditions. Rising electronics imports and higher dependence on China underscore ongoing external balance pressures and supply-chain sensitivities.

India’s merchandise trade deficit widened to $30.43 billion in June, up nearly 59% from $19.10 billion a year earlier, as imports rose 31% to $70.84 billion and outpaced a 15.5% increase in exports to $40.41 billion. The government said the jump in imports was largely driven by higher global prices for crude oil and precious metals, rather than a proportional rise in volumes. India’s reliance on Chinese imports also increased, with imports from China rising to $38.04 billion in the first quarter of FY27.
