India recently saw nearly 13 tonnes of gold and silver stuck at customs just ahead of Akshaya Tritiya, one of the biggest gold-buying festivals, raising concerns of supply shortages and price spikes. In this episode of Kharcha Paani, we break down why imports were halted, the role of the government, banks, DGFT and RBI, and how a delay in official approvals disrupted the entire bullion supply chain. We also explore how India’s heavy dependence on gold imports—worth $50–55 billion annually—impacts the rupee and widens the current account deficit, and why the government tightly controls it. Plus, a big shift is underway: Indians are moving away from physical gold to digital options like Gold ETFs, while gold loans are booming, becoming one of the fastest-growing retail credit segments. From customs delays to changing investment habits, here’s the full story of how gold affects not just your wallet, but the entire economy.
