On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch the ‘Surat Diamond Bourse,’ the world’s largest corporate office center.
The Surat Diamond Burse, built on 35.54 acres of land at a cost of 3400 crore, is poised to become a global center of raw and polished diamond trading.
The Diamond Bourse, which has over 4,500 networked offices, is the world’s largest interconnected building. The office complex is larger than the Pentagon and has the country’s largest customs clearing facility.
The structure can accommodate 4,200 dealers from 175 nations who would come to Surat to acquire polished diamonds. The trading facility would employ around 1.5 lakh people by providing diamond buyers from all over the world with a worldwide platform to trade at Surat.
Earlier in July, Prime Minister Narendra Modi replied to a media article on ‘X’ claiming that the Surat Diamond Exchange had surpassed the Pentagon as the world’s largest office structure for the previous 80 years.
Surat Diamond Bourse exemplifies the energy and expansion of the diamond business in Surat. It also demonstrates India’s entrepreneurial spirit. It will act as a hub for commerce, innovation, and collaboration, increasing our economy and creating jobs,” he said.
