India's Gem and Jewellery Exports Rise 3.14% in August Led by Value-Added Products
India's gem and jewellery exports rose 3.14% year-on-year to $2.30 billion in August 2026, driven by strong growth in value-added products like studded gold jewellery, which surged 51.22%. Plain gold jewellery exports declined 23.90% due to higher gold prices and increased input costs. Cut and polished diamond exports saw volume growth but faced pressure from weaker realizations. The Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council highlighted the sector's shift towards finished products and its evolving global role.
