The strategic trade mission comes as India’s gem and jewellery exports to France surged 19.72% year-on-year, reaching US$ 478.78 million in FY 2025–26 (up from US$ 399.93 million in FY 2024–25). Key drivers of this growth include:

• Gold Jewellery Exports: US$ 159.53 million (+18.69%)
• Cut & Polished Diamonds: US$ 204.07 million (+4.69%)

Despite rapid growth, India currently holds a 3.8% share of France’s total US$ 12.61 billion gem and jewellery import market, highlighting significant untapped potential for Indian exporters.
