Our meeting with ALROSA today was an opportunity to chalk out our plans to further strengthen the industry going forward. The direct sourcing of rough diamonds would help our MSME sector in a big way. We have discussed possible ways of collaboration with ALROSA, and will soon submit a plan so that our MSME sector would secure direct access of rough from the world leader in diamond mining.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Evgeny Agureev, Deputy CEO of ALROSA<\/strong>, stated, \u201cI am happy to be meeting my colleagues from India in person after almost two years. From ALROSA\u2019s perspective, India remains the most important centre for manufacturing diamonds, and is the third-biggest consumer of diamond jewellery as well. I\u2019m certain that today\u2019s discussions will further strengthen Indo-Russian cooperation in diamonds and benefit the natural diamond pipeline at large.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Photo-4.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Photo-4-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12268 lazyload\" width=\"547\" height=\"410\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Photo-4-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Photo-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Photo-4-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Photo-4-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Photo-4-225x169.jpg 225w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Photo-4-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Photo-4-20x15.jpg 20w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Photo-4-128x96.jpg 128w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Photo-4.jpg 1244w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 547px) 100vw, 547px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>ALROSA anticipates stable growth this year with an estimated diamond output of 31.5 million carats with the possibility of increasing to 33 million carats.
