Oct-15-2025

India’s gems and jewellery exports increased 6.55% to $2,914.29 million in September 2025 as compared to $2,735.26 million in September 2024. In the first half of 2025-26, the overall gem and jewellery exports witnessed a growth of 3.66% at $14.09 billion compared to $13.60 billion in the same period of the previous fiscal.

The industry witnessed encouraging signs of recovery in H1FY26 as demand for gem and jewellery products from key markets such as the UAE, Hong Kong, and the UK has strengthened. However, the United States - a key destination for Indian gem and jewellery exports - continued to face challenges due to tariff-related factors. 

For the April-September period of 2025, overall exports to the US declined 40.28% to $2,770.66 million, while exports of cut and polished diamonds fell 53.62% to $1,175.09 million. The overall exports of Cut and Polished diamonds (CPD) went up by 5.91% at $1,368.04 million in September compared to $1,291.71 million for the same period of the previous year. The total export of gold jewellery saw a growth of 2.4% at $1,092.0 million in September compared to $1,066.37 million for the same period of the previous year.
