Augmont Launches Limited Edition ‘Bharat and Beyond’ Silver Coin Kit
Commemorating India’s 75th Republic Day anniversary
Pioneers in the Gold Industry, Augmont is launching limited edition Silver Coin Kit with the theme ‘Bharat and Beyond’ to commemorate India’s 75th Republic Day
Meticulously crafted by Augmont, the ‘Bharat and Beyond Silver Coin Kit’ isn’t just a collector’s item; it is a symbol of the nation’s extraordinary progress, celebrating the milestones in technology, healthcare, education, and infrastructure that have shaped the ‘Bharat’ we see today.
This exclusive ‘Bharat and Beyond Silver Coin Kit’ offers a unique commemorative experience, featuring a 5-gram 999 purity silver coin that symbolises India’s progress, a copy of ‘The Constitution of India’ book by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, reflecting the country’s democratic foundation, and a selection of Augmont goodies, adding a special touch to this.
This thoughtfully curated kit serves as a tribute to India’s achievements while preserving the essence of its cultural and democratic heritage.
Sachin Kothari, Director at Augmont said “The commemorative silver coin kit celebrates India’s (Bharat) advancements over the past decade in sectors such as technology, healthcare, education, and infrastructure.
“It also serves as a symbol to inspire both present and future generations to continue fostering growth and development, carrying forward the flame of innovation.”
The Bharat and Beyond coin design draws inspiration from two iconic symbols of India’s governance and cultural heritage: the recently built New Indian Parliament building and the Sengol.
The New Parliament building, representing India’s vibrant democracy, stands as a symbol of strength, inclusivity, and progress in shaping India’s future. And the Sengol, an ancient symbol of power and justice, reflects India’s rich cultural legacy and the continuity of leadership.
Together, these elements embody Bharat’s journey of growth, bridging its glorious past with its ambitious future as it emerges as a global powerhouse leading innovation in technology, healthcare, education, and infrastructure.

India’s Natural Diamonds Exports Lead In Value As Polished LGD Exports Overtake In Volume
Natural Diamonds Continued To Dominate In Overall Export Value Due To Their Substantially Higher Price Realization Per Carat.
India’s export volume of polished lab growns has overtaken that of natural diamonds for the first time.India’s diamond export industry has crossed a historic threshold, with the volume of polished lab-grown diamonds surpassing natural diamonds for the first time. However, a massive pricing disparity ensures that mined gems still command the financial throne.
According to newly released data from the GJEPC for the fiscal year ending March 2026, lab-grown exports surged by nearly 31% to reach 18.84 million carats. Conversely, natural diamond exports contracted by roughly 4%, slipping to 16.00 million carats.
During the fiscal period, natural diamonds accounted for an export volume of 16.00 million carats, with an average price of $760 per carat, generating total fiscal revenue of $12.16 billion. In comparison, lab-grown diamonds recorded a higher export volume of 18.84 million carats; however, with an average price of only $60 per carat, they generated significantly lower total fiscal revenue of US$1.13 billion. While lab-grown diamonds surpassed natural diamonds in volume terms, natural diamonds continued to dominate in overall export value due to their substantially higher price realization per carat.
Despite the revenue gap, the volume flip highlights an astronomical growth trajectory; a decade ago, in fiscal 2015-16, India exported a mere 10,000 carats of lab-grown diamonds. Early data for April 2026 indicates this trend is locking in, with lab-grown volumes edging past naturals at 1.36 million carats to 1.34 million carats, respectively.
