How much did exports increase in the April-June quarter?

This trend indicates a revival in demand for diamond jewelery in the international market. Along with this, it also indicates the expectation of better sales in the coming holiday season and Special Economic Zones (SEZs) getting more priority for business than Domestic Duty Areas (DTAs). Analysts estimate that this positive trend may further strengthen in the October-December quarter.

Gross imports of unrefined diamonds stood at $700.3 million in June 2026, while it declined by 32.4 percent year-on-year in the April-June quarter. In terms of volume, gross imports of rough diamonds in June stood at 66.9 lakh carats, down 8.6 percent. The decline in rough diamond trade continues as Indian jewelers look to reduce existing stocks before making fresh purchases in view of demand uncertainty in overseas markets.

Consumer demand likely to increase

Analysts say demand from end consumers is likely to increase, which will also naturally accelerate the import cycle of this product category. According to experts, lab-grown diamonds have received an overwhelming response in the international markets as consumers are becoming more price-conscious amid the uncertainties. The category has emerged as an attractive alternative to natural diamonds for price-sensitive customers and is likely to strengthen further in the future.
