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.

Bollywood actors Aamir Khan and Ranbir Kapoor have invested in luxury jewellery brand QWEEN, which is preparing to enter the Indian market with its first experiential stores in early 2026.

The recent imposition of steep tariffs by the Trump administration on diamonds imported from India has sent ripples across the US diamond jewellery sector. India being the primary supplier of polished diamonds to America, the world’s largest consumer market, the tariffs have caused supply chain disruptions, and are likely to lead to rising product costs. Prices are expected to go up, once the existing inventory depletes, unless a deal is reached between the US and India. Suneeta Kaul speaks with Paul Zimnisky, renowned diamond industry analyst, to gain insights into the fallout of the tariffs, and how they are reshaping buying behaviour and pricing strategies in the US.
