The Indian government's recent budget has injected renewed vigour into the gems and jewellery sector. By significantly slashing customs duty on precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum, the government aims to reduce retail jewellery prices, thereby stimulating consumer demand and boosting domestic manufacturing. Additionally, the complete removal of duties on essential jewellery-making minerals, streamlined trade processes, and dedicated support for the lab-grown diamond industry create a favourable environment for growth. With these tailwinds, the sector is poised to accelerate its expansion, targeting a substantial valuation of USD 100 billion by 2027.
