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.

June 2026 A bride’s jewellery is never merely ornamental, it carries sentiment, memory, and the quiet power of tradition. With its newest Polki Collection, Harit Zaveri Jewellers introduces a refined take on royal Indian bridal jewellery, thoughtfully designed for the modern bride who embraces heritage while expressing her individuality with confidence and grace.

At the heart of the collection lies the richness of polki craftsmanship – raw, uncut diamonds admired for their old-world charm and regal appeal, long associated with royal Indian heirlooms. Paired with vivid emeralds, known to symbolise renewal, harmony, love, and abundance, the collection brings together heritage and elegance. The richness of green emeralds adds depth and freshness, creating jewels that feel both classic and strikingly modern.
The collection features an expansive range of statement and versatile pieces including necklaces, kadas, rings, earrings, and bridal sets, thoughtfully embellished with emeralds, pearls, and polki detailing.


This collection from Harit Zaveri Jewellers compliments classic reds and heritage weaves to contemporary ivories, pastels, and couture silhouettes. Whether layered with a traditional lehenga, paired with a modern sari drape, or styled for intimate pre-wedding celebrations, these pieces seamlessly adapt while elevating every bridal look with a quiet majesty.
These pieces are envisioned as modern heirlooms, where meticulous craftsmanship, precious materials, and timeless artistry come together to create pieces worthy of being passed down through generations.
Harit Zaveri, Joint Managing Director at Harit Zaveri Jewellers said:

“At Harit Zaveri Jewellers, we have always believed bridal jewellery should feel personal, something that reflects a bride’s story and individuality. Many of our clients naturally gravitate towards one-of-a-kind pieces that resonate with their personality and become part of their memories for years to come. With this Polki collection, we wanted to celebrate craftsmanship with the richness of emeralds, a stone that beautifully complements a variety of bridal colours and effortlessly completes a look. Above all, quality remains at the heart of everything we create because we believe jewellery should feel as enduring as the memories and moments attached to it.”
