Akoirah by Augmont introduced the ‘Made of Us’ collection on February 11, 2026, featuring 14K recycled gold and lab-grown diamond designs centred on heart motifs for Valentine’s season retail demand.

In spite of an 8.76% dip in cut and polished diamond exports during April-November 2025, GJEPC remains optimistic about India’s export performance in 2026. The Council is looking forward to the BTA with the US, and should that take longer than expected, it will take all necessary measures in coordination with the government and stakeholders to support exports, and ensure continued growth, says Sabyasachi Ray, Executive Director, GJEPC, in a conversation with Suneeta Kaul.

PP Jewellers by Pawan Gupta has introduced a new lightweight diamond jewellery collection, expanding its contemporary offering with versatile designs across key product categories for everyday and occasion-led retail demand.

GJEPC Chairman Kirit Bhansali highlights steady April–October export performance, seasonal October softness, policy-driven competitiveness, and the real context behind gold import trends, outlining a confident growth trajectory for India’s gem and jewellery sector.

India’s gem and jewellery exports record a steady recovery in the first half of FY2025–26, witnessing a growth of 3.66% to US$14.09 billion between April and September 2025 compared to US$13.60 billion in the same period last year

As the festive season approaches, the Indian gold market is showing promising signs of recovery, despite facing challenges from record-high prices and recent fluctuations in demand

India's recent gold import duty cut is expected to spark a surge in gold demand during the upcoming festive season. With duties reduced from 15% to 6%, the move aims to make gold more affordable for consumers and boost retail purchases amid the peak wedding and festival period

In India, anticipation of potential import duty cuts in the upcoming budget adds further complexity to market dynamics, while in China, retail and wholesale demand reflect the strain of elevated prices

Gold, long heralded as a safe haven asset, is currently experiencing a surge in demand, propelling its prices to unprecedented highs

Last year the ‘Platinum Season of Love’ saw over 1400+ stores from across 300+ cities reporting a 102% growth in platinum jewellery sales in the country.

The country imported 14.6 tonnes of gold in January 2023, down from 61.5 tonnes in January 2022. The lower demand for gold has affected not only India's import figures but also global gold prices, which fell on the news of India's reduced imports.
