February 15 , 2026 13 hrs 0 min 29 0
  • India has proposed reforms in the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme to improve the regulation of the global diamond trade.
  • The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme is a global system that regulates trade in rough diamonds to prevent conflict diamonds.
  • Only member countries of the Kimberley Process can trade rough diamonds with each other using certification.
  • India is not a diamond-producing country, but imports about 40 % of global rough diamonds for cutting and polishing.
  • Major diamond cutting and polishing centres in India are Surat and Mumbai.
