The Bharat Diamond Bourse (BDB) has announced that the fourth edition of the Bharat Diamond Week (BDW) will run from August 5-7, 2020 at the BDB in Mumbai. More than 150 large, medium and small diamond companies will display high quality polished diamonds during the fair.

Announcing the schedule for the event, the organisers said, “The event is expected to be a catalyst for strong sales for the diamond sector which has seen a slowdown over the past year and which has been hit by the Coronavirus.”

A large number of international and local buyers are expected to visit the show, BDB said.

“Every buyer will have a unique opportunity to tour the marvellous diamond bourse and visit the offices of potential sellers who can supply them with absolutely any diamond they need in any shape, size or colour,” said Anoop Mehta, President of Bharat Diamond Bourse.

Describing the BDW as a “never to be missed” event, Evgeny Agureev, Director of Alrosa’s United Selling Organisation, said, “India is by far the world’s largest cutting and polishing centre.”

Mehul Shah, Vice President of the BDB, said, “The Bharat Diamond Bourse houses more than 2,500 diamond and allied companies and is the engine for the diamond economy of the world.”

He adds, “The Bharat Diamond Week encourages small and medium sized companies who are bourse members to display their products and take advantage of the subsidies offered by the Bharat Diamond Week and transfer them to their customers. This will help build their businesses and give an excellent opportunity and exciting offers and services for buyers during the show.”

The Bharat Diamond Week is being held alongside the India International Jewellery Show (IIJS) 2020 that is being held in Mumbai from August 6-10. This gives visitors and buyers attending the BDW the opportunity to also visit the show. The Bharat Diamond Bourse will provide regular transportation for visitors and buyers between the BDW and the IIJS.
