Import of products of small-scale industries like umbrella, locks, toys and glassware also went up by 54.6% to Rs 1,541.63 crore over the same period previous year.

"The increase in edible oil import is mainly due to substantial increase in import of crude palm oil and its fractions," the data said.

However, import of pulses, and cotton and silk contracted by 17% and 17.2%, respectively, in 2010-11. No reason was disclosed for the contraction.

Import of sensitive items amounted to 4.4% of the country's total import during the period.
