Industry Awaits Interim Deal Benefits As India-US Trade Talks Advance
Proposed Interim Pact Could Pave The Way For Zero-Duty Access For Natural Diamonds and Coloured Gemstones In The US Market.
Fresh momentum has emerged in India-US trade negotiations after Shri Piyush Goyal, Hon’ble Union Minister of Commerce & Industry, held another round of discussions with Mr. Jamieson Greer, Ambassador, US Trade Representative (USTR), and his delegation in New Delhi on 23-24 June 2026, reviewing progress on the proposed bilateral trade agreement and exploring ways to deepen economic ties.
For India’s gem and jewellery sector, the latest talks are being closely watched as the industry awaits the conclusion of the proposed Interim Trade Agreement, which is expected to improve market access for exports to the United States.
Under the framework for the interim agreement announced in February this year, natural cut and polished diamonds and coloured gemstones are expected to receive zero-duty access to the US under Annex III once the interim agreement is implemented. GJEPC has also urged the Government of India to pursue the inclusion of laboratory-grown diamonds and synthetic gemstones under the Annex III exemption list.
The latest meeting signals continued progress in negotiations towards finalising the interim agreement. The outcome remains significant for the gem and jewellery industry, as implementation of the agreed framework would enhance the competitiveness of India’s natural diamond exports in the US market while addressing one of the sector’s key trade priorities.

KISNA Diamond and Gold Jewellery Rolls Out Nationwide ‘Shop Sparkle Win’ Campaign Across 218 Cities, With 823 Vehicles Up For Grabs
The campaign will run through the first week of December 2026, with customers eligible to participate on diamond jewellery purchases worth ₹25,000 and gold jewellery purchases worth ₹75,000
KISNA KISNA Diamond and Gold Jewellery, one of India’s foremost jewellery brands, has rolled out its nationwide KISNA Shop Sparkle Win Campaign ’26 across 218 cities in 24 states, offering customers the opportunity to win 823 vehicles, comprising 247 cars and 576 scooters, during the festive season.
Customers receive one lucky draw coupon on diamond jewellery purchases worth Rs. 25,000 and one coupon on gold jewellery purchases worth Rs. 75,000. The campaign comprises three lucky draws and will continue through the first week of December 2026, culminating in the final draw for the car prizes.
Timed around one of the country’s key jewellery-buying periods, Shop Sparkle Win adds an element of excitement to festive purchases. Eligible coupon holders are invited to their respective KISNA stores, where winners are selected through a live ballot process, bringing the celebration closer to customers across markets.
Speaking on the campaign, Ghanshyam Dholakia, Founder & Managing Director, Hari Krishna Group, said,
“Festivals are moments when families come together to celebrate traditions, relationships and new beginnings, and jewellery has always been an integral part of these occasions. At KISNA, we have consistently looked at ways to make these moments more memorable and rewarding. Following the strong response to our previous Bumper Lucky Draw, KISNA Shop Sparkle Win Campaign ’26 takes this approach forward at a wider scale, enabling us to celebrate with customers across the country.”

Parag Shah, CEO, KISNA Diamond & Gold Jewellery, added,

“Jewellery purchases today are shaped not only by design and craftsmanship, but also by the value, flexibility and assurance customers receive through the buying journey. Our proposition addresses these considerations through initiatives such as the Gold Rate Protection Scheme, old gold exchange options and our diamond jewellery buyback programme. Customers can avail up to 95% exchange value on diamond jewellery, including making charges, providing greater flexibility and long-term value beyond the initial purchase.”
The campaign is being amplified through BTL activations, social media and digital campaigns across markets. Building on KISNA’s earlier customer reward initiatives, including the Bumper Lucky Draw and #Shop_Sparkle_Win reflects the brand’s continued focus on strengthening its retail proposition and creating more engaging jewellery-buying experiences across India.
