Besides, it is also expected to benefit the Indian gems and jewelery business. Let us know, which stocks gained momentum and how can the jewelery sector benefit?
Jewelery sector will get big benefit in exports
Indian gems and jewelery are in demand all over the world. However, there was a lot of disappointment among exporters after the US government’s decision of 50 percent tariff. Businessmen were also facing huge losses. After this deal of India with the European Union, the Indian gems and jewelery sector will get a new opportunity to expand in the European market. The 10 percent tariff on gems and jewelery will be reduced to zero.
