KOLKATA\/MUMBAI: If gold future contracts were an accurate pointer to what North Block might do with levies on the yellow metal, the odds in favour of a cut in import taxes should shorten.<\/p>\n

Why so? October futures on Indias traditional store of value are now at a 2.5% discount to current spot import prices, with the new administration due to unveil the Budget on July 5.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the past five years, we have been seeking an import duty cut. But nothing has happened. This time too we are keeping our fingers crossed. The duty should at least come down by 4%,\u201d said Anantha Padmanabhan, chairman, All India Gem & Jewellery Domestic Council.<\/p>\n
