India’s Gem & Jewellery Exports Drop 11.72% in FY25 Amid Global Pressures
Studded gold and platinum jewellery buck trend with positive growth; CPD and silver exports see sharp declines
India’s gem and jewellery (G&J) exports declined by 11.72% in the financial year 2024-25, totaling USD 28.5 billion, compared to USD 32.28 billion in FY24. The industry grappled with multiple global challenges including sluggish demand in key markets like the US and China, ongoing geopolitical tensions, and rising competition from lab-grown diamonds.
Despite the overall decline, exports of studded gold jewellery rose by 14% year-on-year to USD 6.1 billion, and platinum jewellery exports also saw an uptick of 11.79% to USD 182.75 million. In contrast, exports of cut and polished diamonds (CPD), the sector’s largest component, plummeted 16.75% to USD 13.2 billion, while silver jewellery exports dropped a staggering 40.58% to USD 962 million.
The imposition of a 26% US tariff on certain goods triggered a last-minute surge in exports, with over USD 1 billion worth of shipments sent in the 10 days prior to the tariff’s implementation — a sign of underlying global demand potential.
On the import front, gross G&J imports fell 11.96% to USD 19.6 billion, down from USD 22.2 billion in the previous fiscal year. Imports of rough diamonds, a key raw material, dropped 24.27% in value to USD 10.8 billion, while the volume declined 16.2% to 1,044.34 lakh carats.
Exports of lab-grown polished diamonds were also impacted, declining by 9.64% to USD 1.2 billion.
Gold jewellery exports were relatively stable, recording only a marginal decline of 0.11% to USD 11.21 billion. Of this, plain gold jewellery contributed USD 5.1 billion.
Signs of recovery were visible from January 2025 onwards, with month-on-month growth, although still trailing behind year-on-year figures. Exports in March 2025 were USD 2.5 billion, showing a modest 1.02% growth over February, but slightly below the USD 2.55 billion recorded in March 2024.
Industry players remain cautiously optimistic, citing stabilizing diamond prices and improving market sentiment as early indicators of a turnaround, despite ongoing global uncertainty.

PNG Jewellers stock touches 52-week high of Rs 727.80 amid strong market momentum, strong festive demand
Driven by robust investor confidence, strong festive demand, and the continued rise of India’s organized jewellery retail sector, PNG Jewellers stock surge to 52-week high
Driven by robust investor confidence, strong festive demand, and the continued rise of India’s organized jewellery retail sector, P N Gadgil Jewellers Ltd (PNGJL) stock hit a new 52-week high of Rs. 727.80 on the NSE today (May 7, 2026). The stock was trading strongly, with an intraday high of Rs. 727.80, showcasing significant upward momentum. The price was Rs 711.35 at close of trading.
The rally reflects growing investor confidence in India’s organized jewellery retail industry, particularly branded chains demonstrating strong expansion, rising revenues, and resilient consumer demand despite elevated gold prices.
The breakout above the earlier resistance level is being viewed positively by both market participants and technical analysts, indicating sustained bullish momentum in the stock.
Industry experts believe several key factors are contributing to the sharp upward movement in PNG Jewellers’ shares:
- Expansion of retail showroom network
- Growing trust in organized jewellery brands
- Strong quarterly business updates
- Increased investor interest in consumer retail stocks
- Strong festive and wedding season demand
The branded jewellery segment continues to benefit from evolving consumer preferences, with buyers increasingly shifting toward transparency, certified products, and trusted legacy brands.
The rally in PNG Jewellers also underlines the broader strength of India’s organized jewellery market. Leading brands across the country are witnessing strong footfalls, higher ticket sizes, and consistent growth across bridal, festive, and daily wear categories.
With gold continuing to remain both an emotional asset and a preferred investment avenue for Indian consumers, jewellery retailers are maintaining strong business momentum even amid periods of elevated bullion prices.
Analysts now expect investors to closely monitor whether PNG Jewellers sustains above the crucial Rs. 700 breakout zone in the coming trading sessions. Continued earnings growth, retail expansion, and stronger visibility on future performance could further strengthen market confidence.
The stock’s fresh 52-week high marks another important moment for India’s jewellery retail industry, reinforcing the sector’s strong growth trajectory across both consumer demand and capital markets.
