contributed around 7% to GDP and 14% to India’s total merchandize export in February’21 with a
market size was at US$ 78.50 billion in FY21. The jewellery industry in India is largely driven by individual
family owned small to medium size businesses. Thus, the Group anticipates that there is scope of
development of large retailers / brand in jewellery industry in near future. The venture will benefit from
the retail experience, knowhow and trust build over the years with various ABG Luxury Retail Brands. It
will also be able to harness the people, technical and operational capabilities from Group’s retail arms.
