The Gem-Jewelery Sector Is Important In Export Promotion

The gem-jewelery sector is important in export promotion, the government sees it as an area with potential to increase exports. The government is looking at the gem and jewelery sector as a highly promising sector to boost exports.

Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Hardeep Singh Puri said on Monday that India’s gems and jewelery industry has made a significant contribution in securing foreign exchange.

Therefore, the government has allowed 100 percent foreign direct investment (FDI) in this sector. Currently, India exports $ 35 billion (about Rs 2.55 lakh crore) worth of gems and jewelery annually.

With this large figure, it is one of the largest exporters in the world and caters to the demand of top markets like America, Hong Kong, China, the Middle East, Russia.

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the five-day International Gem and Jewelry Exhibition (IGJS) organized online through online by the Gems and Jewelery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), Puri said that this trade fair is being organized at the right time.

This is because with the introduction of the Kovid-19 vaccine, demand for gems and jewelery has started increasing again in all major markets. GJEPC Chairman Colin Shah said that India has emerged as a major manufacturing hub for Panna and Morganite and GJEPC has also seen a huge demand for silver in the last few years.

He said that the council has set a target to increase the export of gems and jewelery from $ 35 billion to $ 75 billion in the next few years. Shah said that the jewelery park in Mumbai will give a new dimension to jewelery manufacturing in the country.
