Mumbai
Mumbai Trades Them. Surat Cuts Them.
Bharat Diamond Bourse (BDB) in Mumbai's Bandra-Kurla Complex is the world's largest diamond bourse by membership and the commercial heart of India's diamond trade — home to thousands of trading offices, the Customs House, and the banks that finance the industry.
- Skip the Trading Margin. Stones traded in Mumbai have typically already moved from manufacturer to trader. Buying in Surat means transacting with the manufacturer directly.
- Minutes From Mumbai, Not a New Continent. Surat is a short domestic flight or a few hours by road from Mumbai — this isn't a new market to learn, it's the same industry, one step closer to the source.
- The Same Trust, Fewer Steps. India's regulatory and customs framework applies in both cities. What changes is how many parties are between you and the stone.
Welcoming sourcing conversations from established and emerging markets worldwide.
