GST reforms bring relief to diamond and jewellery sector
Recent Goods and Services Tax (GST) reforms have been hailed as a significant boon for India’s diamond and jewellery industries. The exemption of Integrated Goods and Services Tax on small diamond imports, alongside a reduction in GST on jewellery boxes from 12% to 5%, is expected to alleviate financial pressures on exporters and retailers alike. Industry leaders, including GJEPC Chairman Kirit Bhanushali, expressed optimism that these changes will not only lower consumer costs but also stimulate domestic demand, reinforcing India’s competitive position in the global jewellery market.
