Government to take steps to curb gold imports soon: FinMin source

                NEW DELHI: Government is likely to announce measures to curb gold imports as early as Tuesday, a senior finance ministry source said, as a surge in inbound shipments threatens to worsen the country's trade deficit.

"We are working on it. The measures to slow gold imports are almost ready and may be announced today or tomorrow," said the source, who declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter.
