NEW DELHI, INDIA: India's gems and jewellery exports witnessed a 27.17% growth in September to INRs 301.95 billion (USD 3765.51 million) as compared to INRs 237.43 billion during the same month last year, data released by the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) showed.
Since the start of the financial year 2022-23, the overall gross exports of gem and jewellery rose 12.82% to INRs 1.61 trillion on a cumulative basis (USD 20,580.11 million) as compared to INRs 1.43 trillion (USD 19,359.01 million) for the same period last year, data showed. With this, the sector has achieved 45% of the total export target of USD 45.7 billion for the current financial year.
"With a robust growth of gem and jewellery exports in September, the last quarter of the year is expected to be more fulfilling as sales will be driven by the Holiday season and festivities," Vipul Shah, Chairman of GJEPC said.
Plain gold jewellery has continued to gain traction with an average growth of 19.43% (in dollar terms) post the India-UAE CEPA agreement.
"However, there are a few bottlenecks which if resolved would further boost the gem and jewellery trade between India and UAE. Lab-grown diamond exports continue to have a positive run, focused measures will further strengthen such exports from India," Shah said, adding that he was confident the sector would certainly achieve the export target.
