KIRA Expands to 4,000 CVD Reactors, Cementing India’s Global Leadership in Lab-Grown Diamonds
Mumbai | Surat (September 24, 2025) – KIRA, part of the Kiran family — one of India’s most trusted diamond groups with over four decades of heritage — today announced a landmark expansion of its production capacity from 2,600 to 4,000 CVD reactors. With this scale, KIRA now produces more than 250,000 polished carats every month, making it by far the world’s largest grower of lab-grown diamonds (LGD).
This achievement reflects the original vision of Vallabhbhai Lakhani, Founder of the Kiran family, widely regarded as a father figure of the Indian diamond industry. His motto, “Har ghar hira, har ghar KIRA” (“a diamond in every household”), captures the company’s mission to make diamonds accessible, sustainable, and trusted worldwide. Achieving 4,000 reactors is a milestone that underscores both his foresight and the Kiran family’s ability to turn vision into reality.
Unlike many distributors, KIRA is fully vertically integrated in India, managing the entire value chain — from growing to cutting, polishing, and jewelry manufacturing. With over 10,000+ Indian artisans, operations powered by 75 MW of solar energy (scaling to 150 MW over the next 2 years), and certifications from SMETA and SEDEX, KIRA represents Make in India at global scale — reducing import dependence while creating value, jobs, and sustainability from India to the world.
