How Surat Diamond Bourse Will Benefit Merchants
India's Surat diamond bourse will create 150,000 new jobs and become a "one-stop shop" for artisans and businessmen, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said as he inaugurated the new bourse in Gujarat. Surat cuts and polishes 90% of world's rough diamonds and the bourse will support its ambition to become the world's diamond capital. Constructed over 6.6 million square feet, the bourse is touted as the world's largest office building, surpassing the Pentagon which has an area of 6.5 million square feet.
