Export India to UAE to reach US$ 10 billion in 2023

GJ Exports witness a growth of 12.28% during 
April 2021 to January 2022 & totaled Rs 2.4 lakh Cr

The Indian gem & jewellery export sector has shown quick recovery post the pandemic with exports so far accounting for Rs. 2.4 lakh crores, a 12.28% growth (in dollar terms 6.5% growth to US$ 32.37 billion) during April 2021 to January 2022 as compared to Rs. 2.14 lakh crore (US$ 30.40 billion) during the same period in April 2019 to January 2020.

Among the top 10 gem and jewellery export destinations, UAE has witnessed the highest fall of 41.50% followed by Belgium 15.81%, Japan 12.20%, and Hong Kong 3.06% during April 2021 – January 2022 as compared to April 2019 – January 2020.

GJEPC, as the apex body of the gem & jewellery trade in India, is expecting that the imminent Foreign Trade Agreement (FTA) with UAE would help the industry to take a bigger leap in exports of Plain Gold and Gold studded jewellery which was hit badly during the pandemic.

Colin Shah, Chairman, GJEPC, said, “UAE accounts for 80% of India’s plain gold jewellery exports and 20% of studded jewellery exports. The FTA between India and UAE has come at an opportune time when both countries are looking to rebound from the Covid-19 setback and recalibrate and realign their common business interests, including gold and diamonds.

UAE is a gateway to the entire Middle East region and the proposed abolition of 5% import duty in UAE would lead to increased prosperity on both sides of the Arabian Sea.                                                                                                                                  The FTA will provide impetus and much needed push to exports of gem and jewellery products to the Emirates as G & J exports to UAE declined significantly to US$1.18 billion in 2020-2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic situation. With proposed nil duty, we are confident that exports of plain gold jewellery and gold studded jewellery from India to UAE would boost to US$ 10 billion (INR 74000 Crores) in 2023.” 

UAE is also India’s one of the major export destinations for studded gold jewellery. In the last few years, exports of studded gold jewellery declined from US$1.04 billion in FY2017 to US$400 million in 2020-2021. GJEPC is hopeful that studded gold jewellery exports from India to UAE could revert to its earlier average level of US$ 800 million if the duty is withdrawn.
