The world’s largest office complex is almost ready in Gujarat’s financial capital Surat and it is estimated that it will be inaugurated in the coming April. This commercial complex is Surat Diamond Burs, which is going to be the biggest stronghold of diamond business in the world.
Let us tell you that at present, the center of diamond business in the country and the world is Bharat Bursa in Mumbai. For many years, India remained the center of Bursa diamond industry due to non-availability of international flights and five star hotels and other infrastructure facilities in Surat. But most of the work of carving and producing diamonds continued in Surat. The diamond entrepreneurs from Surat would keep their office in Mumbai and do business from there. But in the last decade, apart from infrastructure in Surat, air connectivity has improved a lot in the country and the world and the project of Surat Diamond Burs has also come true to bring diamond entrepreneurs under one roof. Now all eyes are on this complex.
Now the issue is that Surat Diamond Burs has given a special offer to attract diamond entrepreneurs and especially Mumbai entrepreneurs doing business in Bharat Burs to Surat. The New Indian Express, quoting Cherman Vallabh Lakhani of Surat Diamond Burs, reported that most diamond companies based in Mumbai are ready to relocate to Surat. Six months rebate in maintenance fee has been offered for offices located in nine 15-storey buildings of BURS.
On the other hand, Mumbai’s Bharat Diamond Burs treasurer Anoop Zaveri has said in his statement to Mid-Day that he was treating Surat Diamond Burs like a brother, but the actors there have divided the diamond traders and increased enmity among them. .
Only tomorrow will tell how the Mumbai-centric diamond industry will transfer to Surat with the setting up of this Surat Diamond Burs. But on the ground, there is a lot of activity in the diamond industry regarding this new development.
