India’s gem and jewellery exports has made strides in October 2024, marking a turning point with positive growth in multiple product categories, notably cut and polished diamonds, gold Jewellery (plain & studded), and polished lab-grown diamonds. In October 2024, the overall gross exports of gems and jewellery reached USD 2,998.04 million (Rs. 25,194.41 crores), marking a growth of 9.18% in dollar terms and 10.23% in rupee terms, compared to USD 2,746.09 million (Rs. 22,857.16 crores) in October 2023. This increase underscores the industry’s resilience amid challenging global market conditions.

This growth highlights a renewed demand for India’s finely crafted diamonds, re-establishing the industry’s foothold after previous months of decline. Commenting on the growth in exports, Shri Vipul Shah, Chairman, GJEPC, said, "This is a welcome relief for our industry, as we’ve experienced export growth of 9.18% in October. Notably, the export of cut and polished grew 11.32% compared to October 2023. We are optimistic that this trend will continue, especially with the approaching holiday season in the West, which will likely drive further demand for gems and jewellery. Furthermore, the GJEPC is making concerted efforts to expand into new markets while strengthening demand in existing ones.” Shah further added, “With President Donald Trump's election, we are optimistic about his promise to stabilize the geopolitical landscape and strengthen the US economy, which we believe will support a revival in trade, business, and supply chains, ultimately boosting global demand for gems and jewellery.” Gold Jewellery (Plain & Studded) exports also performed well in October 2024, achieving an 8.8% growth in dollar terms and a 9.83% increase in rupee terms, with exports valued at USD 1,124.52 million (Rs. 9,449.37 crores), up from USD 1,033.61 million (Rs. 8,603.33 crores) in October 2023.
