Malabar Gold & Diamonds, the world’s fifth-largest jewellery retailer, has inaugurated its largest and most advanced integrated jewellery manufacturing unit in Hyderabad. Spanning 3.45 lakh sq. ft. and employing over 2,750 artisans, the state-of-the-art facility significantly boosts the group’s global manufacturing capacity and reflects its long-term vision of positioning India as a hub for world-class jewellery craftsmanship
Located in the General Park at Maheshwaram, Ranga Reddy district, the facility consolidates all key operations—including design, refining, manufacturing, hallmarking, and warehousing—under one roof. With an annual output of 4.7 tonnes of gold jewellery and 1.8 lakh carats of diamond jewellery, along with a refining capacity of 78 tonnes, the Hyderabad unit is set to play a crucial role in powering the brand’s aggressive retail expansion across 22 Indian states and global markets.
The integrated plant was inaugurated by Telangana Chief Minister Sri Revanth Reddy in the presence of Malabar Group Chairman M.P. Ahammed and senior leadership including Vice-Chairman Abdul Salam K.P., MD-India Operations Asher O., and Executive Director Nishad A.K.
“This facility represents a strategic leap in our ‘Make in India, Market to the World’ journey,” said M.P. Ahammed. “It seamlessly combines tradition and technology to meet global demand with Indian excellence.”
Designed to enable high-volume, precision-driven production, the unit is equipped with cutting-edge machinery sourced from the USA, Germany, Italy, and Turkey. The in-house R&D and design studio leverages modern technologies like 3D printing, CNC machining, and laser cutting, setting new benchmarks in manufacturing efficiency, sustainability, and design innovation.
With 40% of the workforce sourced locally and representation from 18 Indian states, the facility also includes employee accommodation and a dedicated skill development centre. Malabar Gold & Diamonds is also actively engaging international consultants to implement global best practices in process engineering and quality management.
The Hyderabad unit expands the group’s manufacturing footprint to 14 units globally, with 10 across major Indian cities and four in the GCC. The group’s current annual production stands at over 40.68 tonnes of gold jewellery and 3.61 lakh carats of diamond jewellery, ranking it among the world’s largest jewellery manufacturers.
Asher O., MD–India Operations, emphasised the unit’s role in strengthening supply chain agility and supporting the domestic market, Malabar’s largest. “Our vertically integrated model gives us full control over the jewellery value chain—from bullion sourcing to customer delivery—ensuring exceptional quality and design consistency.”
Nishad A.K., Executive Director, highlighted the company’s focus on sustainable growth and technological leadership. “This facility is not just a production centre—it is an innovation hub that will redefine industry standards and enable us to respond faster to evolving consumer trends worldwide.”
The new plant can produce a wide range of jewellery—including gold, diamond, platinum, gemstone, and CNC-engineered pieces—as well as gold coins and bars, enabling it to cater to diverse global market needs.
As part of its ESG commitments, Malabar continues to allocate 5% of net profits towards social development programmes in every country of operation, focusing on health, housing, hunger alleviation, education, environment, and women empowerment.
With a turnover of $7.36 billion and a global retail presence spanning 400+ showrooms across 13 countries, Malabar Gold & Diamonds continues to expand its legacy of responsible growth, combining heritage craftsmanship with future-ready innovation.
