It is so because in graphite there are free electrons. And in diamond it is not.

In a graphite molecule, one valence electron of each carbon atom remains free
making graphite a good conductor of electricity. Whereas in diamond
they have no free mobile electron.
As such each carbon atom is linked with four neighbouring carbon atoms.
