Global jewellery giant Malabar Gold & Diamonds has inaugurated its largest-ever integrated manufacturing unit in Hyderabad, strengthening India’s position as a global manufacturing hub for fine jewellery.
Located at General Park, Maheshwaram, the sprawling 3.45 lakh sq. ft. facility unites design, refining, production, hallmarking, quality control, warehousing, and supply chain management under one roof — making it a one-of-a-kind global benchmark in the jewellery industry.
Equipped with cutting-edge technologies and staffed by over 2,750 artisans from 18 states, the facility can annually produce 4.7 tonnes of gold jewellery and 1.8 lakh carats of diamond jewellery. It also boasts a refining capacity of 78 tonnes of gold per year and contributes to the group’s total global production of 40.68 tonnes of gold and 3.61 lakh carats of diamonds annually.
Inaugurated by Telangana CM Revanth Reddy alongside Malabar Group leadership, the new unit aligns with the brand’s vision: “Make in India, Market to the World.”
Chairman M.P. Ahammed said, “This world-class facility is a symbol of our commitment to quality, sustainability, and India’s rich legacy of craftsmanship.”
Managing Director Asher O noted that the Hyderabad unit will be central to Malabar’s planned expansion across 22 Indian states and 3 UTs this fiscal year.
Executive Director Nishad A.K. highlighted advanced R&D, in-house design studios, and technologies like 3D printing, CNC machining, and laser cutting that make this facility a benchmark for innovation and efficiency.
The unit also focuses on employee welfare with skill development centers and dedicated housing, and features international consultants and machinery from the USA, Germany, Italy, and Turkey to maintain global standards.
Malabar Gold & Diamonds now operates 14 manufacturing units across India and the GCC, supporting over 400 retail showrooms worldwide and reinforcing its reputation as the world’s 5th largest jewellery retailer.
True to its ESG commitments, the group sets aside 5% of net profits for community initiatives, with a focus on health, housing, education, women empowerment, and the environment.
