Malabar Gold & Diamonds has officially opened a fully integrated jewellery manufacturing unit in Hyderabad, now the group’s largest production facility. Located in General Park, Maheshwaram in Ranga Reddy district, the 3.45 lakh sq ft site brings together design, refining, manufacturing, hallmarking, quality assurance, warehousing, and supply chain operations within a single location.
This development supports Malabar’s ongoing strategy to expand its retail operations in India and international markets, under its ‘Make in India, Market to the World’ vision.
Production and operational capacity
The Hyderabad facility has an annual production capacity of over 4.7 tonnes of gold jewellery and 1.8 lakh carats of diamond jewellery, with gold refining capabilities of up to 78 tonnes per year. It brings the group’s total annual production capacity to over 40.68 tonnes of gold and 3.61 lakh carats of diamond jewellery across 14 manufacturing units globally.
The plant is equipped with precision machinery sourced from the USA, Germany, Italy, and Turkey. It is designed for high-volume, technology-driven production and supports the manufacture of gold, diamond, platinum, gemstone, and CNC jewellery, as well as gold coins and bars.
An in-house design studio and R&D centre utilise technologies such as 3D printing, CNC machining, laser cutting, casting, and hydrogen peroxide-based soldering.
Workforce and local engagement
The facility employs more than 2,750 skilled workers from 18 Indian states, with 40% of the workforce drawn from the local population. It includes dedicated accommodation and a skill development centre to support training and workforce development.
Speaking at the launch, Nishad A K, Executive Director, said:
“With this facility, we are not just enhancing our production capacity—we are setting new industry benchmarks in design innovation, sustainable manufacturing, and operational excellence. It reflects our long-term vision of building a robust manufacturing ecosystem capable of meeting the evolving preferences of customers in both domestic and global markets.”
Strategic integration across the jewellery value chain
Malabar Gold & Diamonds operates under a vertically integrated business model, controlling its operations from bullion sourcing through to retail. The new Hyderabad facility is intended to increase supply chain efficiency and maintain consistency across its operations.
Asher O, Managing Director – India Operations, commented:
“The integrated manufacturing unit enhances our ability to cater to the growing demand for jewellery in India, which remains our biggest market. We are preparing to expand across 22 states and 3 union territories by the end of the financial year.”
