CaratLane Launches Treasure Chest Savings Plan on PhonePe for Millions
TATA’s CaratLane becomes the first jewellery brand to offer a dedicated savings scheme on PhonePe, merging digital convenience with premium craftsmanship.
CaratLane – A TATA Product, India’s leading omnichannel jewellery brand, has announced the launch of its popular Treasure Chest jewellery savings plan on the PhonePe app. This milestone makes CaratLane the first Indian jewellery brand to offer a dedicated savings scheme on the platform, pioneering a new way for millions of users to plan their future purchases. The CaratLane Treasure Chest on PhonePe was available to users for enrolment starting 6th January 2026.
With CaratLane’s retail presence spanning stores across all 28 states and union territories, this integration unlocks access to the brand’s jewellery offerings for over 650 million PhonePe users across the country. Through the PhonePe app, users can now seamlessly enroll in the CaratLane Treasure Chest scheme and plan their jewellery purchases with greater flexibility and confidence.

Saumen Bhaumik, Managing Director, CaratLane, said: “Jewellery is often a planned purchase—especially the kind CaratLane is known for, designed for daily adornment across work, travel, and life’s many celebrations. Our partnership through Treasure Chest on PhonePe is enabling millions of customers to plan and save for the pieces they truly aspire to own, whether it’s a tennis bracelet or a stunning diamond ring. It empowers them to indulge in meaningful milestones, celebrate their wins, and make those special purchases seamlessly—online or in-store.”
Treasure Chest is CaratLane’s jewellery savings plan that allows customers to make monthly contributions over a fixed tenure – paying 9 instalments and getting the 10th one from CaratLane, giving them the 9 = 10 benefit – culminating in jewellery redemption with added benefits. By bringing the scheme onto PhonePe, CaratLane is enabling customers to begin their jewellery journey digitally, while retaining the option to redeem across its extensive physical store network or online.
With Dhanteras and the festive buying season remaining one of the most significant periods for jewellery purchases in India, the integration also encourages customers to register early and plan ahead for Dhanteras 2026, ensuring a more disciplined and rewarding approach to festive jewellery buying.

Diamond Slump forces Debswana to diversify into copper, platinum and solar
Diamond-centric mining models is giving way to broader resource portfolios
Debswana Diamond Company, the 50–50 joint venture between the Botswana government and De Beers, is moving to diversify into copper, platinum and renewable energy as the prolonged downturn in natural diamond demand pressures earnings and forces the industry to rethink its growth strategy.
The company’s board has approved plans to invest in a portfolio of non-diamond projects after revenue fell 46% in 2024, the latest available financial year, highlighting the scale of the downturn in the global diamond market.

The move signals a strategic shift toward commodities with stronger long-term demand fundamentals, particularly copper, which is central to global electrification and energy-transition infrastructure.
Debswana’s diversification reflects a broader industry pivot as diamond producers confront weak consumer demand, rising competition from lab-grown stones and elevated inventories across the supply chain.
The shift is also visible among smaller exploration companies. Botswana Diamonds recently rebranded as Botswana Minerals, signalling its own strategic focus on copper exploration rather than diamonds.
Together, these moves underscore a growing consensus across the sector: the era of diamond-centric mining models is giving way to broader resource portfolios anchored in energy-transition metals.
