Indian diamond exports, including diamond-studded jewellery, reach markets across the globe, including the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The industry directly employs about 1.3 million workers, particularly in the cutting, polishing, trading, and exporting of diamonds, with the city of Surat alone providing jobs to nearly 800,000 workers, making it the largest hub for diamond cutting and polishing in the world. Millions of indirect jobs are supported through related industries such as logistics, transport, retail, and diamond tool manufacturing.
