India’s polished diamond exports continue to slide in June

India’s gross monthly polished diamond exports declined by 23% year-on-year in June, amounting to $779 million, according to the latest data released by the Gems and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC).
While the drop continues the downward trajectory seen over the past two years, the June decline was less severe than May, when exports fell by 35.5%, from $1.47 billion in May 2024 to $950 million—one of the steepest falls in recent memory.
India’s polished diamond exports have faced sustained pressure since 2022, with weakened consumer sentiment in major markets like the United States and China driving demand down. For the fiscal year 2024–25, exports declined 16.8% to $13.3 billion, marking the sector’s lowest performance in nearly two decades.
The latest data also highlights a 5% decline in rough diamond imports for the April–June quarter, signaling a cautious buying approach amid global market uncertainty.
While the overall gems and jewellery sector also experienced a downturn, it fared slightly better than diamonds alone, registering a 14.1% year-on-year decline in revenue.
