A delegation from the GJEPC’s Delhi Regional Office met with key Customs officials on 9th April to address critical issues hindering the smooth and safe clearance of jewellery shipments. Led by Mr. Antarpal Singh Sawhney, Regional Chairman (North), GJEPC; Mr. Anil Sankhwal, Convener – Studded Jewellery Panel, GJEPC; and Mr. Sanjeev Bhatia, Regional Director (North), GJEPC, the delegation engaged with Mr. Dibyalok Singh, IRS, Deputy Commissioner, Customs, at the cargo warehouse, in the presence of Mr. Niraj Gupta, Jewellery Appraiser Exports, to highlight the challenges faced by the exporting community.

The delegation highlighted excessive waiting times (up to 16 hours) for detention receipts at the under-equipped Precious Cargo Warehouse (PCW). Exporters stressed the security risks and poor amenities at the PCW, particularly during peak seasons.

The cumbersome process of transporting cleared parcels to T3 airport, often with delayed escorts, was also a major concern, posing security threats to valuable shipments. The GJEPC reiterated the long-standing need for more jewellery appraisers to expedite clearances. Discussions also touched upon the pending implementation of a new CBIC notification for precious metal and jewellery exports.

Ms. Ashima Bansal, IRS, Commissioner Customs, Delhi acknowledged the issues and assured the delegation of her commitment to finding swift solutions. She directed the organisation of a tripartite meeting involving Customs, the Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC), and the GJEPC to collaboratively streamline the process. The meeting concluded with a positive outlook for resolving the challenges faced by the jewellery export community in Delhi.

While jewellery is often associated with weddings and festivals, Dhirsons Jewellers, Dhiraj Dhir Group believes the most meaningful pieces are the ones that mark a woman’s personal milestones. This Women’s Day, the brand celebrates these moments with the theme “Honouring Milestones, Not Occasions.”

Moving beyond traditional celebrations, the brand highlights moments that truly define a woman’s journey. These personal achievements often go uncelebrated, yet they mark some of the most meaningful chapters in her life.

The campaign also introduces the idea of “a colour for every milestone.” Gold symbolises the woman who built her own foundation, reflecting strength and independence, while white represents the woman who chose to heal and begin again. Through this thought, Dhirsons Jewellers encourages women to recognise their journeys and celebrate the paths they have created for themselves.

Riva Dhir, Creative Director, Dhirsons Jewellers, Dhiraj Dhir Group, Lajpat Nagar said, “People often ask me what we create at Dhirsons, and my answer is simple, we don’t make jewellery for occasions, we create it for the milestones in a woman’s journey.

Over the years, I have seen women walk into our store at defining moments in their lives, celebrating a success, marking a hard-earned achievement, or simply choosing themselves for the first time. That is when I realised that jewellery is never just about gold or diamonds. It becomes a reminder of strength, growth, and a promise she once made to herself. That is why every piece we create is designed to outlive trends, because when a woman wears something truly meaningful, it becomes a part of her story.”

At its heart, the campaign celebrates the moments of courage, growth, and self-belief that shape a woman’s journey and recognises that these milestones deserve to be honoured and remembered when they happen.
