D.P. Jewellers Announces Multi-City Jewellery Exhibition Series Across Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh
Category-led festive showcases spotlight diamonds, polki, rings, chains, and bangles across key Central Indian markets, offering curated experiences during the wedding season.
D.P. Jewellers has announced a multi-city jewellery exhibition series across key markets in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh during the ongoing festive and wedding season. The initiative brings together a range of focused showcases, each centred on a specific jewellery category, aimed at offering customers a more curated and immersive shopping experience.
As the season gathers pace, jewellery buying across Central India continues to reflect a preference for thoughtful design, trusted craftsmanship, and collections that balance tradition with everyday relevance. The exhibition series responds to this shift by presenting category-led assortments that highlight contemporary styling alongside the brand’s long-standing design ethos.
In Kota, D.P. Jewellers is hosting the World of Diamonds Festival from December 22 to December 31, 2025. The exhibition showcases an extensive range of natural diamond jewellery including solitaires, bridal creations, layered diamond styles, and modern minimal designs. The collection draws from global design influences while retaining local cultural elements, offering pieces suited for both occasion wear and long-term investment.
Banswara is hosting the Diamond and Polki Festival from December 23, 2025, to January 7, 2026. The showcase brings together traditional polki craftsmanship and contemporary interpretations, featuring uncut diamond jewellery across necklaces, earrings, and bangles. The festival highlights the artistry and enduring appeal of polki designs while introducing exclusive selections curated for the region.
In Bhilwara, D.P. Jewellers has introduced the Rings and Earrings Festival, running from December 23, 2025, to January 7, 2026. The exhibition presents a dedicated curation of gold, diamond, and platinum rings and earrings, including preview collections not part of the regular in-store assortment. Select live customisation options and expert styling interactions further enhance the in-store experience.
The brand is also hosting Chain and Bangle Festivals in Indore and Udaipur, focusing on everyday and occasion-led jewellery staples. The Indore exhibition runs from December 23, 2025, to January 7, 2026, while the Udaipur edition is scheduled from December 20 to December 31, 2025. Both showcases feature curated selections across gold, diamond, and platinum chains and bangles, supported by exclusive preview collections and on-ground engagement initiatives.
Through this multi-city exhibition programme, D.P. Jewellers continues to strengthen its presence across core markets while offering customers focused collections that reflect evolving preferences, transparency in sourcing, and consistent craftsmanship.

WGC India Gold Market Update: Import Tightening
Part Of A Broader Push To Conserve Foreign Exchange Reserves Amid Geopolitical Uncertainty and Mounting Pressure On The INR
HighlightsÂ
- Gold import duty was raised sharply by 9%– from 6% to 15%, the steepest increase on record – alongside broader regulatory tightening
- Domestic gold prices have not yet fully reflected the duty hike amid weak demand and ample supply; local markets are currently in deep discount from the landed price
- Past trends indicate that higher duty increases unofficial inflows, although official imports remain relatively resilient
- Gold demand is expected to moderate in 2026, with jewellery and bar and coin demand projected to decline by 50–60t (~10% y/y) on account of the import duty hike.
Policy actions on gold imports
Since early April, the government has adopted a series of measures aimed at moderating gold imports. These have been part of a broader push to conserve foreign exchange reserves amid geopolitical uncertainty and mounting pressure on the INR, which has depreciated by more than 7% y-t-d. These measures include price-based actions, administrative and regulatory tightening, and consumer-directed messaging. While noteworthy, they are not unprecedented; gold is among the top five imports for India, accounting for 8% of the country’s merchandise imports in 2025, and similar measures have been utilised in the past.
On the price front, the gold import duty was raised sharply from 6% to 15%, making it the single largest increase on record and fully reversing the duty cut of July 2024. Rules were also tightened for gold imports linked to exports (under the advance authorisation scheme), and the Prime Minister has directly appealed to consumers, urging them to avoid buying gold for a year.
