Industry overview

The Indian gems and jewellery industry is a significant pillar of the national economy, contributing around 7% to the country’s GDP and around 15% of total merchandise exports. The sector is expected to grow steadily, driven by domestic consumption and international demand. India is the largest diamond-cutting and polishing hub globally, producing nearly 90% of the world’s polished diamonds by volume. The industry comprises various segments, including gold jewellery, diamond jewellery, coloured gemstones, and diamond studded gold jewellery, with gold jewellery dominating the market. Gold plays a vital cultural and religious role in India, symbolizing prosperity and wealth, and is an essential part of weddings, festivals, and other ceremonies. Geographically, the manufacturing base is concentrated in key states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu.

The Indian Gems and Jewellery industry has historically been highly fragmented, dominated by small, family-owned and unorganised jewellers, particularly in Tier-II, Tier-III cities and rural markets. A large portion of jewellery purchases have traditionally been relationship-driven, with consumers preferring trusted local jewellers for customised designs, credit flexibility, and assured purity. Industry estimates suggest that the unorganised segment accounted for nearly 70–75% of the market a decade ago, though its share has been gradually declining. In CY25, the domestic gems and jewellery industry have reached at around Rs 9,998.17 billion, with a CAGR of 11.21% during CY20–CY25. Further, the gems and jewellery market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.82% between CY25 and CY30P. The long-term demand prospects for the sector are supported by a growing working population, higher disposable income, easier access to credit, and improved living standards.

The Government of India, along with all the stakeholders of the Gems and Jewellery sector, are well committed to aggressively promoting exports, identifying challenges, and addressing them with necessary interventions, assisting exporters, especially SME units and exploring new markets while consolidating existing ones. With rapid growth prospects, the government of India has also declared the Gems and Jewellery sector as one of the focus areas for export promotion. With such continuous government support, the superior quality of Indian manufacturers has enabled the Indian gems & jewellery trade market to penetrate markets like the USA, UAE, Hong Kong, Israel, Switzerland and Belgium. The UAE market is the largest destination for Indian gems and jewellery exports, accounting for a 31% share of India’s exports in FY26.

Its customers are located in markets across 18 states and 3 union territories in India and 8 countries outside India. It has established a presence across both domestic and international markets, reflecting its understanding of diverse customer needs and global industry dynamics.

Risks and concerns

Dependence on limited number of key customers: A substantial portion of its operating revenue is derived from a top ten customers in the gems and jewellery industry. The company’s top 10 customers contributed 53.19%, 47.92%, 52.95%, and 57.72% of its revenue from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026, Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025, and Fiscal 2024, respectively. There can be no assurance that it will continue to derive significant revenue from these customers. The loss or reduction of sales to any of its key customers, whether due to the termination or non-renewal of contracts, inability to negotiate acceptable renewal terms, loss of market share of these customers, changes in product quality specifications, technological advancements, disputes, mergers or decline in their sales, reduced or delayed customer orders, store closures, labour strikes, or other work stoppages, could materially and adversely affect its business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flows.

Volatility in raw material prices and availability: The company relies on the timely procurement of raw materials, including gold, diamonds, platinum, and precious or semi precious stones, to manufacture its jewellery products. The non-availability or high cost of gold, diamonds, precious and semi-precious metals and stones may have an adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. The cost of raw materials and components consumed as a percentage of its total expenses, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025, and 2024 was 108.13%, 92.53%, 85.41%, and 86.37% respectively. Further, it does not have long term agreements for supply of its raw materials. Any disruption in the timely procurement of these materials from its existing vendors, or a failure to source suitable alternatives on acceptable terms, could adversely impact its production schedules, increase its costs, and materially affect its business and financial condition.

High dependence on export sales: A significant portion of its revenue is derived from export sales, which exposes its business to risks inherent in international markets. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025, and 2024, export sales accounted for 49.56%,49.13%, 36.41%, and 42.33%, respectively of its revenues. Its export sales are subject to adverse developments in the international markets where it supplies its products - including vulnerability to changes in laws, policies and regulatory changes, economic slowdowns, political environment, currency fluctuations, and geopolitical instability - that could reduce demand for its products and disrupt its supply chains. Additionally, compliance with export norms, and customs-related uncertainties could adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.

Geographic concentration: The company is significantly dependent on its customers located in Maharashtra. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and Fiscals 2026, 2025, and 2024, it derived 58.19%, 69.13%, 74.48%, and 70.73%, of its total domestic revenue from sales in Maharashtra. Due to a significant concentration of its revenues in Maharashtra, it is highly impacted by risks specific to geographies/regions in Maharashtra, such as civil unrest as well as other adverse social, economic and political events in these regions, natural disasters, regional conflicts, and other unforeseen events and circumstances. If any of these risks materialise or if there is a significant downturn in these states, its results of operations and future profitability could be adversely impacted.

Its portfolio primarily comprises daily wear jewellery, including rings, earrings, pendants, neckwear, bracelets and occasion couture jewellery, all of which are developed using contemporary design approaches and modern manufacturing techniques. On the concern side, it purchased 59.40% of its total raw materials and other components from its top 10 suppliers for the three months ended June 30, 2026 of which, its top 3 suppliers contributed towards 34.85%, and its top 5 suppliers contributed 43.44%, of its total purchases of raw materials and other components. A continued dependence on a concentrated supplier base may adversely affect its ability to manage its supply chain efficiently and could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
