GJEPC to discuss silver shortage impacting India’s jewellery exports
Silver prices in India have surged to an unprecedented Rs.1,85,000 per kg & surpassing with every minute or hour or day, (inclusive of taxes), up Rs.6,000 + in a single day and a staggering 106% so far this year, creating a severe shortage that threatens the country’s silver jewellery exports.
The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) is convening with exporters and retailers to assess the situation and explore solutions before escalating the matter to the government.

“There is a tremendous shortage of supply, which will impact our exports of silver jewellery. We are engaging stakeholders and will call a meeting shortly,” said GJEPC Chairman Kirit Bhansali.
India’s silver jewellery exports had grown 17.43% year-on-year to $596.41 million in the first half of this fiscal year. However, rising industrial demand for silver in electronics, solar panels, batteries, and its recent classification as an essential mineral by the US has tightened global supplies, diverting shipments and pushing prices higher.
Exporters report that the shortage is driving premiums unnecessarily high, directly affecting their competitiveness. Compounding the issue, the government recently restricted imports of silver and unstudded jewellery from certain ASEAN countries, including Thailand, until March 31, 2026, in an effort to manage the domestic market.

This Women’s Day, Dhirsons Jewellers Celebrates the Milestones in a Woman’s Journey
This Women’s Day, Dhirsons Jewellers Celebrates the Milestones in a Woman’s Journey.
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.
