GJEPCs Gem & Jewellery Buyer-Seller Meet 2025 commenced with an air of optimism and global camaraderie, setting the stage for fruitful partnerships and meaningful dialogue between Indian manufacturers and international buyers.
The event was inaugurated with a grand unveiling, paving the way for over 40 international buyers to engage in curated one-on-one business meetings with Indian jewellery manufacturers and exporters. The venue buzzed with activity as new connections were forged and long-standing business relationships were rekindled.
Among the notable international buyers. Lisi Fracchia from Spain, visiting India for the first time, expressed her delight at the overwhelming business prospects. Her experience at the BSM not only introduced her to new business avenues but also gave her the opportunity to reconnect with existing suppliers participating in the show.
Cloyette Harris Stoute, representing Alliyette, USA, is also making her maiden visit to India. Her objective of understanding India’s advanced jewellery manufacturing technology and the comprehensive supply chain process was met with great satisfaction. Deeply impressed by her interactions with exhibitors, she shared her enthusiasm about returning in the future.
On the domestic front, Hitesh Thakar, General Manager at Mohit Diamond Pvt. Ltd, reflected on the invaluable insights gained during his meetings. He noted that conversations with buyers revealed their strategic focus on brand expansion, opening up new opportunities for his company to scale their business and adapt to evolving global demand.
Priyank Shah of Walking Tree, participating as a first-time exhibitor, commended the event’s structured format. The carefully filtered buyer group enabled targeted interactions, resulting in serious inquiries from markets such as the USA, Kazakhstan, Brazil, and beyond—particularly for custom-made jewellery.
The first day concluded on a high note, with an atmosphere rich in collaboration and discovery. The meet not only reflected the strength of India’s jewellery sector but also its growing global appeal.

GJEPC Seminar InNashik Spotlights Export Opportunities and Easier Bullion Imports For MSMEs
The Programme Focused On Helping Jewellery Businesses Explore Export Markets While Highlighting Recent Policy Changes That Simplify Access To Bullion Imports.
GJEPC, in association with the Nashik Jewellers Association, organised an awareness seminar on Export Opportunities for MSMEs on 7 July 2026 in Nashik, Maharashtra. The programme focused on helping jewellery businesses explore export markets while highlighting recent policy changes that simplify access to bullion imports.
Addressing the seminar, Mithilesh Pandey, Senior Director, GJEPC, outlined the export potential for jewellery businesses and explained the key requirements for becoming an exporter. His presentation covered logistics support, e-commerce opportunities, and initiatives introduced by the Government of India, the Government of Maharashtra and GJEPC to promote exports. He also highlighted the benefits of GJEPC membership and explained how retailers can leverage Central and State government schemes to expand their businesses internationally.
Representatives from the India International Bullion Exchange (IIBX), Ranjit Singh and Mukesh Sharma, announced a significant policy update for the gem and jewellery industry. GJEPC Registration-cum-Membership Certificate (RCMC) holders will now be recognised as Qualified Jewellers, enabling them to directly participate and bid on the IIBX platform for the import of gold and silver.
The speakers also announced that the earlier Rs 15 crore minimum net worth requirement has been removed, allowing a wider pool of GJEPC members to directly import bullion through IIBX.
The IIBX announcement drew strong interest from participants, while the sessions on exports and GJEPC initiatives encouraged retailers to explore international business opportunities and the advantages of GJEPC membership.
