    FOREWORD

    This Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS) was implemented

    in India from 1st J anuary 2003 to verify the legitimacy of import / export

    of rough diamonds as per UN resolutions and to curb entry of conflictdiamonds into the mainstream.

    The system is operational through the offices of The Gem & J ewellery

    Export Promotion C ouncil at Mumbai & Surat and also through the

    offices of Development Commissioners of Spec ial Economic Zones at

    Mumbai, Visakhapatnam, Hyderabad and Surat in India.

    We are now submitting our Annual Report to the KP Chair for the

    calendar year 2011. During the year under review India issued around

    3251 KP certificates for export parcels and endorsed 22745 KP

    certificates for import parcels under KPCS including transactions

    handled by concerned SEZs. India also received the 2nd Round of

    Review Visit during November 2010. The Review Team visited Mumbai,

    Surat and New Delhi during the visit.

    The scheme is being implemented smoothly in India. We are

    committed to ensure that the diamond trade remains free ofconflict, blood or tainted diamonds.
