How the Gem Wealth Cycle Fuels India’s New Real Estate Pockets



India’s diamond and jewellery industry isn’t just powering exports — it’s quietly redrawing urban maps. As gem profits surge, liquidity flows straight into land, luxury homes, and commercial assets, giving rise to fresh real estate hotspots across the country.

India handles nearly 90% of the world’s diamond polishing, and its entrepreneurs channel high-value gains into:
