New Delhi: Rajesh Exports, the world's largest gold jewellery maker, on Thursday said it has bagged a contract worth Rs 786 crore from UAE to export gold and diamond jewellery and medallions.

In a filing to the BSE, Rajesh Exports Ltd said that it has "bagged an export order worth Rs 786 crore of designer range of gold and diamond studded jewellery and medallions from UAE". The order is to be completed by October 15.
