GJEPC and PCCCC Meet to Address Customs Clearance Challenges
On 5th February 2025, the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) hosted a significant meeting at its head office in Mumbai, bringing together Customs House Agents (CHAs) from the Precious Cargo Customs Clearance Centre (PCCCC) and various other stakeholders.
The primary focus of the meeting was to address the ongoing challenges faced in the export and import clearance process, particularly the daily operational hurdles encountered during parcel clearance with customs officials.
The meeting provided a platform for participants to engage in open dialogue and share the various difficulties they face while managing customs procedures. These included issues related to the timeliness of clearance, paperwork discrepancies, communication gaps, and other operational bottlenecks that often delay the smooth transit of goods. The participants discussed these challenges in detail, aiming to identify practical solutions to streamline the entire process.
In response to the discussions, GJEPC has requested all involved stakeholders to compile and submit a comprehensive report outlining the specific challenges faced in customs clearance, as well as providing suggestions for potential system improvements. These reports are expected to play a crucial role in identifying areas that require attention and in formulating effective solutions that will enhance the overall efficiency of the customs operations.
GJEPC aims to use these insights to work closely with the relevant authorities and stakeholders to improve the integration process, ensuring a more seamless experience for businesses involved in the import and export of precious cargo. The initiative is expected to contribute significantly to reducing delays, improving transparency, and boosting the overall efficiency of the jewellery trade’s customs clearance procedures.

Made In India: The Titan Story – Single-Product Challenger To A Lifestyle and Jewellery Powerhouse
Streaming On Amazon MX Player, Made In India: A Titan Story Traces The Remarkable Journey Of Xerxes Desai and J.R.D. Tata As They Built India’s First Indigenous Quartz Watch Brand
Made In India: A Titan Story is a six-episode biographical drama series streaming for free on Amazon MX Player and available through Prime Video. It chronicles the incredible journey of Tata executive Xerxes Desai and J.R.D. Tata as they defy all odds to build India’s first world-class, indigenous quartz watch. The series is inspired by by Vinay Kamath’s book, Titan: India’s Most Successful Consumer Brand
Set in pre-liberalized India, the show highlights how a sidelined Tata executive (Xerxes Desai) pivots from a failing printing press venture to take on smuggled goods and foreign watch brands. Actor Naseeruddin Shah plays JRD Tata, while Jim Sarbh portrays Xerxes Desai in the series that traces the formation of the company and its growth within the consumer sector. The narrative focuses on decisions, ideas and execution that shaped the business over time. It presents the link between leadership and development of the company.
The story of Titan resonates strongly with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of “Make in India,” which champions domestic manufacturing, innovation, and self-reliance. Long before the initiative became a national movement, Titan embodied these principles by proving that an Indian company could design, manufacture, and market world-class products capable of competing with global brands.
In many ways, Made In India: A Titan Story serves as a compelling reminder that the foundations of India’s manufacturing ambitions were laid decades ago by pioneers who believed in creating globally competitive products on Indian soil.
From a single-product underdog in 1984 to a retail powerhouse today, Titan Company Ltd. has spent decades rewriting the rules of lifestyle and luxury. With a massive footprint of over 2,000 stores housing 16 iconic brands, they know how to make a statement.
