Indian silver imports to approach 5,000 tons this year
Indian silver imports are likely to approach 5,000 tons this year as compared to 4,800 last year. The increase in demand is mainly attributed to stronger investment and industrial demand, reported Prithviraj Kothari, the President of BAA. The country also was the biggest gold importer in 2011 and is likely to remain an important gold purchaser this year.
