Malabar Gold & Diamonds to Invest ₹371 Crore in New Zealand Expansion

Malabar Gold & Diamonds, the Indian jewellery group, has announced plans to expand into New Zealand, with an investment of NZD 75 million (₹371 crore) over the next two years. The company will open three new showrooms as part of its international growth strategy.

Plans and Investment

Malabar Gold & Diamonds has a presence in Asia, the Middle East, and other global markets. The company, which operates over 375 showrooms across 13 countries, will fund the investment through internal accruals. The expansion will mark Malabar Gold & Diamonds’ entry into the New Zealand market, where it plans to establish a presence in the jewellery retail sector.

Trade Agreement 

The decision to enter New Zealand aligns with the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between the United Arab Emirates and New Zealand. The agreement is to increase trade and economic cooperation between the two countries.

Malabar Gold & Diamonds, which manages its international operations from the UAE, sees this as an opportunity to expand into a new region.

Statement from the Company

According to Malabar Group Chairman M P Ahammed, the trade agreement helps strengthen economic ties while allowing the company to introduce its products to a different market. He noted that the company sees potential in the region and aims to establish a strong foothold over time.

New Zealand Market

New Zealand’s jewellery retail sector includes both local and international brands, with demand varying across different consumer segments. Malabar Gold & Diamonds’ expansion adds another international player to the market.

With the planned investment, the company is set to enter New Zealand’s retail space in the coming years, adding to expansion in its  global operations.
