India’s trade deficit or the gap between merchandise imports and exports touched a 5-year low to come in at USD 5.07 billion in March from February’s USD 6.54 billion. On year-on-year basis, the deficit was down to USD 118.46 billion from USD 137.69 billion. A sharper rise in exports, which expanded month-on-month (MoM) to USD 22.7 billion from USD 20.7 billion aided in narrowing the deficit even while imports too widened marginally to USD 27.79 billion from USD 27.28 billion.  Oil imports were only a tad higher MoM at USD 4.8 billion, but a major jump was seen in silver imports to USD 210.9 million compared to USD 50.61 million in February.
