India is evaluating a proposal to increase imports of precious metals from the United States, as part of efforts to diversify sourcing and strengthen bilateral trade ties. The move is expected to cover key commodities such as gold, silver, and platinum group metals, which are widely used in jewellery, investment products, and industrial applications. Officials and industry stakeholders are exploring the potential benefits of enhanced procurement from the US, including improved supply stability and competitive pricing. The initiative could also support broader trade negotiations between the two countries by helping balance trade flows. India remains one of the world’s largest consumers of precious metals, driven by strong demand from the jewellery sector and investment markets.
