India's gems and jewellery exports grew by 9.18% to Rs 25,194 crore in October, due to revival in demand for cut and polished diamond, the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council said on Friday.
The overall exports stood at Rs 22,857 crore during the corresponding period of previous year, GJEPC said in a statement.
CPD (cut and polished diamond) exports went up by 11.32% during October this year to Rs 11,795 crore from Rs 10,495 crore recorded in the same month a year ago.

"This is a welcome relief for our industry, as we've experienced export growth of 9.18% in October. Notably, the export of cut and polished diamond grew 11.32% compared to October 2023. We are optimistic that this trend will continue, especially with the approaching holiday season in the West, which will likely drive further demand for gems and jewellery. Furthermore, the Council is making concerted efforts to expand into new markets, while strengthening demand in existing ones," GJEPC chairman Vipul Shah said.
With Donald Trump winning the US presidential elections, "we are optimistic about his promise to stabilise the geopolitical landscape and strengthen the US economy, which will support a revival in trade, business, and supply chains, ultimately boosting global demand for gems and jewellery," he added.
According to the GJEPC data, exports of gold jewellery also increased by 8.8% to Rs 9,449 crore in October 2024, compared to Rs 8,603 crore during the year-ago month.
Exports of polished lab-grown diamonds grew by 1.27% to Rs 1,160 crore in the previous month, compared to Rs 1,135 crore recorded in October last year.
