INDIA CENTRE FOR LAB GROWN DIAMOND
Discover the future of
Lab Grown DiamondS
Welcome to India Centre for Lab Grown Diamond (InCent-LGD), where we aim at bridging the industry needs and future of lab grown diamonds with our core technical expertise and advanced research facilities.
About InCent-LGD...
India Centre for Lab Grown Diamond (InCent-LGD) is established by IIT Madras and Ministry of Commerce and Industry for the development of indigenous technologies based on Lab Grown Diamond.
The technologies developed will be available to Indian customers to make India self reliant (Atma Nirbhar) in producing Gem quality and Electronic grade diamonds.
India Centre for Lab grown Diamond (InCent-LGD) was established in Year 2023 at IIT Madras.
The mission of this center is to establish a National Centre for creation of state-of-the-art facilities for Lab Grown Diamond Technologies that enable process development and optimization of diamond growth using indigenously developed chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) systems.

Our Mission
At InCent LGD, we are on a mission to pioneer the development of indigenous technologies in lab grown diamond production, harnessing its vast potential for various market segments including gem grade diamond and electronic applications, thereby fostering self reliance and technological advancements in India.
What are Lab Grown Diamonds?
Introduction
Lab-grown diamonds are created in laboratories instead of being mined from the earth. This process involves techniques in controlled settings, resulting in diamonds that are tough and are of high quality.
Production Methods
One of the methods used to create lab-grown diamonds is called Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). This technique mimics the natural diamond formation process by using carbon-rich gas, ensuring the diamonds produced are chemically identical to natural ones.
Quality
Despite common misconceptions lab-grown diamonds are not fake. They are chemically, visually and physically identical to natural diamonds, offering a sustainable alternative without compromising on quality.
Environmental Impact
Lab-grown diamonds have a significantly lower carbon footprint and water consumption compared to mined diamonds. The energy used in the lab grown diamond making processes is less than the energy required for large-scale mining operations.
