The Government of India imposes import curbs on certain platinum jewellery

The Indian Government on Monday imposed import curbs on certain types of platinum jewellery till April next year. In September, the government imposed restrictions on imports of certain silver jewellery till March 31 next year. Certain silver items, including plain/unstudded silver jewellery and parts thereof, are also restricted until March 31, 2026.

The move was aimed at curbing imports of silver in the name of unstudded jewellery from Thailand. India has a free trade agreement with ASEAN (Association of South-East Asian Nations). 

Thailand is a member of this 10-nation group.
