flag India's trade deficit hit a record $41.7 billion in October 2025 due to high gold imports and falling exports, but the RBI called it temporary.

flag India's merchandise trade deficit hit a record $41.7 billion in October 2025, fueled by a surge in gold and silver imports tied to festive demand and high global prices, along with rising imports of electronics and consumer goods. flag Exports declined for the first time in four months due to weak global demand and negative new export orders. flag While oil imports held steady, strong services exports, remittances, and foreign exchange reserves helped stabilize the external position. flag The RBI called the deficit spike temporary, citing seasonal factors and restocking, with gold imports expected to ease. flag Risks remain from global trade uncertainty and volatile markets, though a U.S. tariff exemption on select Indian agricultural goods may offer limited export support.
