Double-counting of shipments inflated gold imports, says commerce ministry

10-01-2025   02:35 PM

On noticing unusual surge in imports of precious metals, the Centre conducted a reconciliation exercise wherein it was observed that due to migration of data pertaining to SEZs (special economic zones) to the ICEGATE (Indian Customs EDI Gateway) system, figures of precious metals needed revision, the commerce ministry said.

While, the initial months of 2024-25 saw narrower revisions, the gold import data for October is now lower by $2.45 billion to $4.68 billion.

India's gold imports in April-November were overstated by $11.7 billion due to double-counting of shipments, commerce ministry explained in a release on January 9.

On noticing unusual surge in imports of precious metals, the Centre conducted a reconciliation exercise wherein it was observed that due to migration of data pertaining to SEZs (special economic zones) to the ICEGATE (Indian Customs EDI Gateway) system, figures of precious metals needed revision, the commerce ministry said.

The ministry explained that internationally revision and corrections are an inherent part of any statistical procedure. The quick estimate values are initial estimates and are often systematically amended to reflect more accurate information.

"The date on exports and imports pertaining to SEZs as well as all other ports is being captured and transmitted by ICEGATE to DGCIS ( Directorate General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics). However, owing to persistence of certain technical glitches, the migration is still not complete. Both SEZ Online and ICEGATE are still capturing and transmitting mutually exclusive data to DGCIS," the release explained.
