DIAMOND INDUSTRY – INDIA

 

-            From time immemorial, India is well known in the world as the birthplace for diamonds.  It is difficult to trace the origin of diamonds but history says that in the remote past, diamonds were mined only in India. Diamond production in India can be traced back to almost 8th Century B.C.  India, in fact, remained undisputed leader till 18th Century when Brazilian fields were discovered in 1725 followed by emergence of S. Africa, Russia and Australia.

-            The achievement of the Indian diamond industry was possible only due to combination of the manufacturing skills of the Indian workforce and the untiring and unflagging efforts of the Indian diamantaires, supported by progressive Government policies.

-            The area of study of family owned diamond businesses derives its importance from the huge conglomerate of family run organizations which operate in the diamond industry since many generations.

-            Some of the basic traits of family run business enterprises include spirit of entrepreneurship, mutual trust lowers transaction costs, small, nimble and quick to react, information as a source of advantage and philanthropy.

-            Family owned diamond businesses need to improve on many fronts including higher standard of corporate governance, long-term performance – focused strategies, modern management and technology.

-            Utmost caution is to be exercised while dealing with some medium and large diamond traders which are usually engaged in fictitious import – export, inter-company transactions, financially assisted by banks. In the process, several public sector banks lost several hundred million rupees. They mostly diverted borrowed money for diamond business into real estate and capital markets.

-            Excerpts from Times of India dated 30th October 2010 is as under –

 

-            Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council in its statistical data has shown the export of polished diamonds to have increase by 28 % in February 2013. Compared to $ 1.4 bn worth of polished diamond export in February, 2012, India exported $ 1.84 billion worth of polished diamonds in February 2013. A senior executive of GJEPC said, “Export of cut and polished diamonds started falling month-wise after the imposition of 2 % of import duty on the polished diamonds. But February, 2013 has given a new ray of hope to the industry as the export of polished diamonds has actually increased by 28 %. It means the industry  is on the track of recovery and round tripping of diamonds has stopped completely.” Demand has started coming from the US, the UK, Japan and China. India’s polished diamond export is expected to cross $ 21 bn in 2013-14.

 

-            The banking sector has started exercising restraint while following prudent risk management norms when lending money to gems and jewellery sector. This follows the implementation of Basel III accord – a global voluntary regulatory standard on bank capital adequacy, stress testing and market liquidity.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

The Indian gem and jewellery industry has witnessed a marginal decline of 0.36% in FY 2011--2012 owing to the decrease in trading exports of diamonds. The total gem and jewellery industry exports were recorded at US$42839 million (INR 2048230.000 millions) in FY 2011-12 as compared to US$ 42,995 million (INR 1957350.000 millions) in April 2010 – March 2011. Though in dollar terms there is a marginal drop of 0.36%, the exports mark an increase of 4.6% in rupee value. The gem and jewellery sector accounted for 14% of India’s total merchandise exports in FY 2011-2012.

 

The growth in the sector was primarily driven by Gold Jewellery which registered an increase of 30% in FY 2012. The exports grew from US$ 12,695 million (INR 577476.700 millions) in 2010-2011 to US$ 16,517 million (INR 794302.600 millions) in 2011-2012.

 

Cut and Polished Diamonds (CPD) witnessed a decline of 17.30% with exports decreasing from US$ 28,217 million in 2010-2011 to US$ 23,329 million in 2011-2012.

 

Coloured gemstone exports witnessed an increase of 9.10% in dollar terms with sector recording growth from US$ 314.20 million in 2010-2011 to US$ 342.80 million in 2011-2012.

 

UAE was the largest exporting destination with 44% of Exports to the market, followed by Hong Kong with 25% and USA with 12% of exports.

 

There has been a substantial decline in import of polished diamonds during January to March 2012 more than 70% in a month post introduction of 2% duty on C&PD. In the annual figure the decline is 30% in 2011-12 in comparison to previous year. It is expected that the total import of polished diamonds at US$14.3 billion in 2011-12 may eventually come down significantly in 2012-13.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

As industry survey stated, there has been a slowdown in the economy specially in the developed economies and it may continue for sometime due to demand contraction in the developed markets such as the US and the European Union. However, very recent figures and increase in consumer confidence across globe have boosted the industry confidence and experts are hoping for quick revival of consumer demand and growth in industry. All India Gem and Jewellery Trade Federation (GJF) are targeting growth in the forthcoming financial year.

 

The Indian Diamond Industry is witnessing a divergent trend in the demand for cut and polished diamonds and maintaining its Global Presence. The Jewellery Industry is also having its presence felt in the local as well as global market. The Rupees / Dollar fluctuations is having a lot of impact on the performance of the industry and continues to do so in future also because the exports are linked to dollar. The overall demand in the world market is excellent but due to problems faced by the U.S. economy the demand will be sluggish. Revaluation of Yuan of China will have cost bearing effect in the labour market. This will open up the market for Indian Diamond and Jewellery and increase its presence. Currently, the industry is facing a slowdown due to global economic turmoil. At present, the Indian gems and jewellery market is dominated by the unorganized sector; however, the trend is set to change in near future with the branded jewellery market growing at an expected CAGR of more than 41% in the coming years.

 

The outlook for the Industry and consequently for the Company during the current financial year is disheartening due to the prevailing disturbed scenario in the different parts of the world. The Company is putting a lot of efforts to strengthen its position. In view of the demand for Cut and Polished Diamonds and Diamond Studded Jewellery there is a continuous, growth in diamond business. There is enough potential in the Indian and Overseas market for the Companies engaged in diamond trade and export. The Company’s policy is to maintain goodwill in the market and flawless perfection at all levels. Customer’s satisfaction is the top most priority.
