The export of India’s gems and jewellery has slipped 17% to $38.27 billion in 2012 compared to $46.36 billion in 2011. Exports from India to the US stood at $6.1 billion, higher than that from Belgium and Israel, two other major exporters to the US.
Reduction in the export of cut and polished diamonds by 37.3% declined India's gems and jewellery exports, due to a decrease in trading activity in India because of a 2% import duty on cut and polished diamonds.
The chairman of Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council - Vipul Shah, said “Our aim has always been to stimulate greater foreign and domestic participation and also relieve the industry of the various challenges it faces. The most significant reform on the agenda is the correct implementation of the Benign Assessment Procedure and we are hopeful that the ministry will pay heed to this policy change”.
