Bharat Ratnam Mega CFC Obtains FTWZ Approval For Warehousing, Viewing & Exhibition Activities
The Expanded Approval Is Expected To Strengthen Mega CFC’s Position As A Hub For International Gems and Jewellery Exhibitions, Product Viewing
Bharat Ratnam Mega CFC, a project of the GJEPC, has received broad-banding approval under the Free Trade Warehousing Zone (FTWZ) framework, significantly expanding the range of gems and jewellery products that can be warehoused, exhibited and viewed at its facility in SEEPZ, Mumbai.
The approval from SEEPZ authorities allows the Mega CFC’s fifth-floor facility to host activities covering the entire gems and jewellery value chain. International organisations can now import a wide range of products for exhibitions, viewing sessions and pre-auction inspections. The approved categories include rough diamonds, cut and polished diamonds, lab-grown diamonds, plain and studded gold, platinum and silver jewellery, combination jewellery, and imitation jewellery.
Kirit Bhansali, Chairman, GJEPC, said:

“World-class infrastructure is critical to India’s ambition of becoming a larger centre for global gems and jewellery business. The expanded FTWZ framework at Bharat Ratnam Mega CFC creates new opportunities for international companies to showcase products, conduct viewings and participate in auction-related activities from India. This is another step towards building an ecosystem that supports greater global participation and strengthens India’s competitiveness.”
Ravi Menon, CEO, Bharat Ratnam Mega CFC, explained:
“The broad-banding approval has been granted under the FTWZ framework and extends beyond exhibition-related activities. However, the facility’s current operational approvals are limited to warehousing, exhibition, viewing and pre-auction inspection activities. Trading activities have not yet been approved by the relevant authorities.”

Ravi Menon clarified that while FTWZ regulations permit trading as one of the allowable activities, Mega CFC has not yet received the necessary permissions to undertake trading operations. These activities will be added to its offerings only after obtaining further regulatory approvals.
The expanded approval is expected to strengthen Mega CFC’s position as a hub for international gems and jewellery exhibitions, product viewing and auction-related activities, while providing overseas participants with access to a broader range of product categories within a secure FTWZ environment.

Every Day, A New Story: Mia By Tanishq Reimagines Billboard Advertising With Its ‘Precious, Every Day’ Calendar
The Brand Brings A Billboard That Turns A New Page Every Night To Bengaluru and Mumbai, Offering A Reminder That You Don’t Need To Wait For An Occasion To Wear Something Precious
What if a billboard had a new story to tell every single day? Mia by Tanishq, one of India’s leading contemporary fine jewellery brands, has transformed a billboard into a giant calendar that flips to a new page every night, each one pairing a new Mia piece with a line that finds something precious in that day of the week. The installation is on a 30-day run at the Domlur flyover gantry heading into Indiranagar in Bengaluru, following a week-long run on Mumbai’s Western Express Highway. At its heart is a simple insight: women often celebrate the people and milestones around them but hold back when it comes to celebrating themselves. Mia’s answer: you can be the occasion.
Last year, Mia’s calendar-themed billboard showcased a different jewellery piece in each date square. This edition takes the idea further. Each night, one of 30 calendar pages is physically turned to reveal a fresh line and a new Mia piece, while the Mia logo and ‘Precious, Every Day’ stay fixed. Commuters who pass the same stretch every morning find something new waiting for them.
The campaign reflects how jewellery has become an expression of mood and self-appreciation, not something kept only for gifting or festivities. A Monday page pairs Mia’s Blue Rhythm gold stud earrings, set with blue sapphires, with the line “The only Monday blues worth having,” turning the most dreaded day of the week into a playful one. Wednesday highlights personal victories with “Midweek? Stack your rings like your wins,” while Saturday encourages women to embrace the present with “Step out in the necklace you’ve been saving for ‘some’ day.” Each line starts with how a day already feels, from the Monday slump to the midweek push, and turns it into a reason to wear something precious.
Commenting on the campaign, Ajay Maurya, Head of Marketing and Category, Mia by Tanishq, said:

“More and more women are choosing jewellery for themselves, without waiting for a reason. These are not new behaviours we are trying to create, but everyday realities we are reflecting. A woman may simply feel good about herself and choose a piece of jewellery to mark it. With the ‘Precious, Every Day’ calendar, we wanted to bring that thought to the place where everyday life happens, the daily commute. A page that changes overnight gives people a small reason to look up, and a reminder that there is something precious in every day.”
With the ‘Precious, Every Day’ calendar, Mia by Tanishq turns a familiar outdoor format into a story told one page at a time, reminding women that the most precious moments are often the ones they choose for themselves. The activation was executed in partnership with Platinum Outdoor and Madison World.
