The Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) and India Post Delhi Circle jointly organised an export awareness seminar to promote the use of India Post for exporting gems and jewellery. The seminar, held at Meghdoot Bhawan near Jhandewalan Metro Station, attracted 65 industry members eager to explore postal services as an efficient export solution.

Key figures from the industry, including Mr. Ajay Singh Chauhan, PMG (Mails & BD), Mr. Antarpal Singh Sawhney, Regional Chairman – North, GJEPC, and Mr. Vickey Kumar, DPS (M&BD), graced the event along with other notable dignitaries.

During his welcome address, Mr. Chauhan assured participants of India Post’s commitment to providing comprehensive support and guidance for export operations. Mr. Sawhney emphasised the growing importance of e-commerce in the gems and jewellery sector, encouraging exporters to leverage digital platforms to reduce costs, extend their market reach, and operate efficiently around the clock.

A key highlight of the seminar was Mr. Vickey Kumar’s presentation on Dak Niryat Kendras (DNKs), which focused on how India Post’s postal services provide a cost-effective alternative to private courier services for exporters. Mr. Dinesh Kumar Sehgal, ME, NDHO, also conducted a live session to demonstrate the operational processes of DNKs, offering valuable insights into its functioning.

Col. Akhilesh Kumar Pandey, CPMG of Delhi Circle, recognised the unique needs of jewellery exporters and pledged to create a tailored policy through further discussions. Mr. Sanjeev Bhatia, Regional Director – North, GJEPC, also outlined several initiatives by the Council, including the IIGJ-RLC and IIGJ Delhi, aimed at further supporting the industry’s growth.
