India

The Gems and Jewellery sector plays a significant role in the Indian economy, contributing around 7 per cent of the country’s GDP and 15 per cent to India’s total merchandise exports. It also employs over 4.64 million workers and is expected to employ 8.23 million by 2022. One of the fastest growing sectors, it is extremely export oriented and labour intensive. Government of India has declared the Gems and Jewellery sector as a thrust area for export promotion due to its potential for growth and value addition.

India is the hub of the global jewellery market because of its low costs and availability of high-skilled labour and it exports 75 per cent of the world’s polished diamonds. The Indian government presently allows 100 per cent Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the sector through the automatic route. The sector employs over 4.64 million employees and is expected to employ 8.23 million by 2022. The cumulative FDI inflows in diamond and gold ornaments in the period April 2000 – December 2019 were US$ 1.17 billion, according to DPIIT.

Telangana
