Malabar Gold & Diamonds, the world’s fifth-largest jewellery retailer, has inaugurated its largest integrated jewellery manufacturing facility in Hyderabad, further strengthening its position as a global manufacturing leader.
Spread over 345,000 sq. ft. at General Park in Maheshwaram, Telangana, the state-of-the-art unit consolidates design, refining, production, quality checks, hallmarking, warehousing, and supply chain management under one roof — a first for the group’s 14 manufacturing units across India and the GCC.
The new facility will produce 4.7 tonnes of gold jewellery and 180,000 carats of diamond jewellery annually, backed by a gold refining capacity of 78 tonnes. Over 2,750 artisans from 18 Indian states will power the facility, with 40% of the workforce recruited locally.
Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy inaugurated the facility alongside Malabar Group Chairman M.P. Ahammad, Vice-Chairman Abdul Salam K.P, MD-India Operations Asher O, and Executive Director Nishad A.K.
“With this world-class facility, we aim to set new benchmarks in craftsmanship and operational excellence, aligned with our ‘Make in India, Market to the World’ vision,” said Ahammad. He added that gold remains timeless as a symbol of affection, and Malabar will continue to deliver jewellery of enduring value through its trusted promises of lifetime maintenance and transparent buyback.
Asher O said the integrated unit enhances Malabar’s end-to-end value chain, from bullion sourcing to retail. “India remains our biggest market, and this facility will support our aggressive expansion across 22 states and three union territories by the end of this fiscal year,” he added.
Nishad A.K. highlighted the cutting-edge technology deployed, including 3D printing, CNC machining, laser cutting, and advanced metal preparation. The unit’s in-house design studio and R&D centre will drive innovation while adhering to sustainable manufacturing practices.
Equipped with precision machinery from the US, Germany, Italy, and Turkey, and supported by global process experts, the facility aims to meet diverse global demands for gold, diamond, platinum, gemstone, and CNC jewellery, as well as gold coins and bars.
Malabar Gold & Diamonds operates over 400 showrooms across 13 countries and maintains 14 wholesale and 14 manufacturing units worldwide.
True to its ESG commitment, the group allocates 5% of net profits to social initiatives focused on health, hunger eradication, housing, education, women’s empowerment, and the environment.
