Diamond mining was carried out at Panna during the Delhi Sultanate period.

Panna, located in present-day Madhya Pradesh, has been historically famous for its diamond mines. Diamond mining in this region dates back centuries and was certainly active during the period of the Delhi Sultanate and later the Mughal Empire.

Awadh (modern Ayodhya/Uttar Pradesh region) and Lakhnauti (in Bengal) were significant administrative and cultural centres but not known for diamond mining. Khambhat (Cambay) was a major port city in Gujarat, crucial for trade, but also not known for diamond mining.
