DGFT Summit Explores E-commerce’s Role in Boosting Gem & Jewellery Export Potential
The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) hosted an E-commerce Export Summit at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, on 11th March, gathering industry leaders to explore the growing potential of e-commerce in enhancing retail exports. Mr. Sabyasachi Ray, Executive Director of GJEPC, delivered a keynote presentation on ‘Enhancing Retail Exports through E-commerce.’
In his opening remarks, Mr. Ray emphasized the critical role of e-commerce platforms in driving growth for the gem and jewellery sector. He noted that e-commerce is particularly well-suited to this industry due to the low volume and high value of its products, making it ideal for cross-border trade. He expressed confidence that businesses in the sector will see substantial growth in the near future, driven by the accessibility and scalability of e-commerce.
Mr. Ray also provided insights into recent foreign trade policy reforms introduced by the Government of India. These regulatory changes have significantly eased e-commerce exports, contributing to the sector’s remarkable growth. Currently, India’s gem and jewellery exports total $38 billion, with projections aiming for $100 billion by 2047, largely fueled by the expanding e-commerce landscape.
He advised exporters to focus on identifying key product markets and understanding consumer preferences to secure repeat business. Additionally, he highlighted the recent partnerships formed by the GJEPC with major e-commerce platforms like eBay, Amazon, and DHL, aiming to provide a seamless export experience for its members.

GRT Jewellers Bets Big on TBZ to Acquire 74% for ₹1,034 Crore
The deal, signed on August 31, 2026, values the transaction at up to ₹209 per share and marks a significant reshaping of India’s organised jewellery retail landscape.The transaction will give GRT sole control of TBZ, including the right to appoint nominee directors.
In a landmark consolidation move, GRT Jewellers is set to take control of Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri (TBZ), acquiring a 74.12% promoter stake for up to Rs.1,034 crore. The deal, signed on August 31, 2026, values the transaction at up to ₹209 per share and marks a significant reshaping of India’s organised jewellery retail landscape.
GRT Jewellers (India) Private Limited will acquire the entire stake held by TBZ’s promoter group, including Shrikant Gopaldas Zaveri (50.06%), Bindu Shrikant Zaveri (5.24%), Binaisha Shrikant Zaveri (7.92%), Raashi Shrikant Zaveri (6.85%) and two promoter-group entities holding 2.02% each.
The acquisition will trigger a mandatory open offer for the remaining public shareholding, with GRT set to launch an offer for up to 26% of TBZ’s equity in accordance with applicable SEBI regulations.
The transaction will give GRT sole control of TBZ, including the right to appoint nominee directors. The existing promoter directors—Shrikant Gopaldas Zaveri, Binaisha Shrikant Zaveri and Raashi Shrikant Zaveri—are expected to step down following completion.
For TBZ, one of India’s oldest and most recognised jewellery brands, the deal signals a major transition from promoter-led ownership to strategic control by one of the country’s prominent jewellery players. For GRT, it represents an ambitious expansion of its footprint and a potentially transformative bet on TBZ’s established brand equity, retail network and customer franchise.
The deal could emerge as one of the most significant strategic moves in India’s organised jewellery sector, underscoring the accelerating consolidation of a market where scale, brand strength and retail reach are becoming increasingly decisive.
