The overall gem and jewellery exports witnessed an on-year decline of 4.52% in November to ₹19,018.180 crore ($2,263.34 million), GJEPC said on Friday.
Exports stood at ₹19,917.73 crore ($2437.53 million) during November 2022, according to the data by the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC).
"The decline in shipments has narrowed to just 4.52%. There is an improvement in gem and jewellery exports in November mainly due to supply disruptions.
The industry in India had urged the industry to stop importing rough diamonds from October 15 till December 15, following geopolitical issues and lack of demand. This disruption and the festival demand has rejuvenated the demand scenario leading to improvement in exports," GJEPC chairman Vipul Shah told PTI.
The industry expects things to improve going forward and expects the exports in FY24 to be better than the previous financial year, he added.
Meanwhile, the overall export of Cut and Polished diamonds (CPD) dipped by 9.65% in November to ₹9,217.88 crore ($1,100.09 million), compared to ₹10,202.54 crore ($1,248.41 million) for the same period of the previous year.
The total exports of gold jewellery grew by 9.2% to ₹6,724.95 crore ($797.45 million) in November, compared to ₹6,158.56 crore ($753.5 million) in the same period a year ago.
Export of polished Lab Grown Diamonds for the period April-November witnessed a decline of 20.12% at ₹7,783.24 crore ($941.1 million) from ₹9,743.28 crore ($1,227.77 million) in the year-ago period.
