Lab-grown diamond are diamonds that are created in laboratories using advanced technological processes that replicate the natural conditions under which diamonds form beneath the earth’s surface. Lab-grown diamonds have the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as mined diamonds. They are made of pure carbon, have identical crystal structures, and display the same sparkle, hardness, and durability as that of natural mined diamonds. From a visual and structural standpoint, jewellery made with lab-grown diamonds are indistinguishable from jewellery made with natural diamonds, even to trained eyes, unless examined with specialized equipment.

Further, the gems and jewellery market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.8% between CY25 and CY30. 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. 

India is a global leader in diamond processing, accounting for approximately 90% of the world’s rough diamond cutting and polishing by volume. The country has established a highly integrated value chain centred around the midstream segment, with Surat in Gujarat emerging as the world’s largest diamond processing hub. In CY25, the Indian retail diamond jewellery market has reaches at approximately Rs 623 billion, having grown at a CAGR of 6.4% during CY20-CY25.

This growth is driven by rising consumer preference for branded and lightweight jewellery, increasing penetration of organised retail in Tier I and Tier II cities, and growing awareness of lab-grown diamonds.

Meanwhile, Lab-Grown Diamonds (LGDs) are real diamonds that are created in laboratories using advanced technological processes that replicate the natural conditions under which diamonds form beneath the earth’s surface. Unlike imitation or synthetic stones such as cubic zirconia or moissanite, LGDs have the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as mined diamonds - they are made of pure carbon, have identical crystal structures, and display the same sparkle, hardness, and durability. Looking ahead, the LGD jewellery market is projected to reach Rs 71,890 million by CY30, indicating a robust CAGR of 15.8% from CY25-CY30P and reflecting strong growth potential. This growth is expected to be supported by evolving consumer trends, technological advancements in LGD production, and increasing penetration across tier-2 and tier-3 cities. 

Pros and strengths 

Integrated B2B and D2C business model with a growing and diversified customer base: The company operates an integrated business model comprising B2B supply of lab-grown diamond studded gold jewellery to a network of jewellery retailers comprising organized and standalone retailers and wholesalers and recently acquired D2C omnichannel retail operations through its subsidiary, Ayaani. The company’s B2B operations enable it to cater to demand from organized retailers, standalone retailers and wholesalers, including standardized as well as customized product requirements, while its D2C operations enable direct engagement with end consumers, support brand development and participation in retail-level value capture, while also providing insights into customer preferences that support its product design and development.

Manufacturing capabilities supported by in-house design and technology integration: The company’s manufacturing operations are located in Surat, Gujarat, at a facility having an area of approximately 7,000 sq. ft. and an installed production capacity of approximately 360 kg of lab-grown diamond studded gold jewellery per annum, supporting its B2B and D2C operations.

Designs conceptualized by its design team are subject to internal review and finalization with senior management to ensure feasibility, quality and adherence to approved specifications. It has developed a design portfolio comprising over 32,000 jewellery designs across its range of lab-grown diamond studded gold jewellery.

The global LGD jewellery market has grown from $4,058 million in CY20 to $6,117 million in CY25 and is projected to reach $9,406 million by CY30. Similarly, the Indian market is projected to expand at a CAGR of 15.8% from CY25 to CY30, reaching Rs 71,890 million by CY30 from Rs 34,501 million in CY25.

These Karigars operate under its direct supervision and within its established quality control framework, enabling consistency in craftsmanship and product quality. The company’s in-house Karigar base enables it to efficiently execute design-intensive jewellery requirements, including customized products for its B2B customers, while maintaining control over production timelines and manufacturing processes. The company’s reliance on in-house capabilities reduces its dependence on external job work arrangements, thereby enabling better control over quality, turnaround time and production planning.

Risks and concerns

Significant dependence on a limited number of B2B customers: The company’s revenue from operations is significantly concentrated among a limited number of B2B customers. During Fiscal 2026 Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, its top 10 customers contributed Rs 1,125 million, Rs 742.62 million and Rs 451.99 million, representing 55.49%, 76.68% and 84.24% of its revenue from operations, respectively. Any reduction in business from such customers or inability to diversify its customer base may materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

High geographical concentration of operations: A substantial portion of the company’s revenue from operations is derived from a limited number of states in India, particularly Gujarat, Karnataka, Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra, which together contributed Rs 1725.20 million, Rs 897.85 million and Rs 506.63 million, aggregating to 85.03%, 92.71%, and 94.44% of its revenue from operations during the Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, respectively. Any adverse developments in these regions could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

Increasing working capital requirements may impact liquidity: The company’s business is working capital intensive, and its working capital requirements have increased from Rs 67.65 million in Fiscal 2024 to Rs 449.46 million as of fiscal 2026. It intends to utilise a portion of the Net Proceeds towards funding its working capital requirements. Any inability to fund or efficiently manage its working capital could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Significant dependence on a limited number of suppliers: The company’s purchases are significantly concentrated among a limited number of suppliers, with its top 10 suppliers contributing 86.16%, 94.31% and 87.05% of its total purchases during the Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, respectively. Any disruption in supply or adverse changes in terms from such suppliers could materially and adversely affect its business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

On performance front, the company’s revenue from operations increased by 109.50%, from Rs 968.45 million in Fiscal 2025 to Rs 2,028.94 million in Fiscal 2026.

Moreover, profit after tax increased by 127.98%, from Rs 97.88 million in Fiscal 2025 to Rs 223.15 million in Fiscal 2026.

Meanwhile, the company intends to expand and diversify its customer base with a primary focus on its B2B segment, supported by the growing acceptance of lab-grown diamond studded gold jewellery. In its B2B operations, the company aims to strengthen relationships with existing customers while onboarding new retailers and wholesalers by offering design-led, competitively priced products, ensuring consistent quality and timely delivery, and catering to both standardized and customized product requirements.

Mini Diamonds (India) has informed that Namra Jewels, its wholly owned subsidiary, has launched a new lab-grown diamond-studded jewellery collection designed specifically for Gen Z and young consumers. Priced below ₹50,000, the collection combines contemporary styling, quality craftsmanship and accessible luxury.

The launch also expands the brand’s product portfolio and strengthens its connection with a younger generation of jewellery buyers.
