India’s gems and jewellery exports registered a 3.86 percent increase in February, reaching $2,680.79 million, according to data released by the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC). The growth reflects steady demand in key international markets despite ongoing global economic uncertainties.
The export performance was supported by improved shipments of cut and polished diamonds, gold jewellery and studded jewellery during the month. Industry officials noted that recovery in consumer demand in major markets such as the United States and parts of the Middle East contributed to the positive momentum.
GJEPC said the sector continues to focus on expanding market access, strengthening supply chains and promoting Indian craftsmanship globally. Exporters are also adapting to evolving consumer preferences and sustainability requirements in international markets.
Despite the moderate growth in February, industry stakeholders remain cautious as geopolitical tensions, currency fluctuations and changing trade policies could influence export trends in the coming months. However, the council expressed optimism that continued promotional initiatives and global outreach efforts will help sustain export growth in the sector.
