MUMBAI  - India slashed the import duties on gold and silver to 7.5% from 12.5%, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Monday, as the world's second biggest gold consumer tries to bring down smuggling of the precious metal.

Gold futures fell more than 3% following the surprise announcement in the annual budget by Sitharaman.
