“The overall gems and jewellery exports were down in October mainly due to slowdown in demand in key markets like the U.S. and supply constraints of diamond, which constitutes 50% of the total shipments. We are hoping the markets pick up during the Christmas season,” GJEPC chairman Vipul Shah told PTI.
However, the total gross export of gold jewellery increased by 33.48% to ₹8,619.38 crore ($1,035.54 million) in October over ₹6,457.48 crore ($784.11 million) in the same period of the previous year.
