W e are seeing technology at par with international players, and cost effective. It is heartening to see Indian jewellery machinery exported to GCC, Africa and other regions globally.”
The “Make in India” Momentum
JMAIIE 2026 served as a definitive platform for technology integration and market expansion. The consensus among international attendees was clear: Indian machinery has achieved global standards of quality and is now being actively integrated into international manufacturing lines.
