Platinum jewellery imports restricted

|November 18, 2025
TO CHECK ROUTING of precious metals mixed with platinum through countries with which India has free trade agreements, the government has put imports of platinum jewellery on restricted list till April 30 next year.
The move came after it was brought to the notice of the government that platinum jewellery is coming from countries like Thailand to circumvent higher duties on metals like gold. Thailand is part of the 10-nation Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) with which India has an FTA.
