As a step to take diamond industry to greater heights, Indian diamond dealers have come together to form a company, Surat Diamond Sourcing (India) Ltd (SDSL), which will directly tap rough diamond from mining companies across the globe. The company will target diamond-producing countries like Canada, Russia, South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. Speaking to media persons in Surat on Monday, Vice-President of southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry said they are expecting the initiative to be a major financial boost.
