GJEPC welcomes Maharashtra’s landmark State GJ Policy 2025
In a landmark move, the Government of Maharashtra today announced the Maharashtra State Gem & Jewellery Policy 2025, becoming the first state in India to introduce a dedicated policy for the gem and jewellery sector. The policy aims to attract investments worth ₹1 lakh crore and create over 5 lakh new jobs, marking a major step towards transforming Maharashtra into a global hub for jewellery manufacturing, exports, and design.
GJEPC provided valuable inputs to ensure that the policy addresses the industry’s evolving needs — from manufacturing and infrastructure to skilling and export facilitation.The new policy will give a strong push to the entire ecosystem — from manufacturing and exports to skill development and employment generation. It is designed to promote ease of doing business, modernize manufacturing units, encourage innovation, and strengthen training and skilling infrastructure across the state.
Kirit Bhansali, Chairman, GJEPC, said: “We are deeply thankful to the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Shri Devendra Fadnavis, for his visionary leadership in announcing India’s first State Gem & Jewellery Policy. This landmark initiative will not only strengthen Maharashtra’s position as a leading jewellery manufacturing centre but also bring about a qualitative leap in areas such as skilling, technology upgradation, and value addition.With this policy, we foresee new opportunities for investment, innovation, and job creation — paving the way for Maharashtra to set new global benchmarks in the gems and jewellery sector.”
GJEPC held a workshop at Zaveri Bazaar, Mumbai, on 25th November to introduce its new initiative, How and Why to Export, designed to guide aspiring exporters in the gem and jewellery trade. The programme aims to build practical understanding of export procedures, compliance, and government support, strengthening opportunities for MSMEs and widening India’s exporter base. It also supports the shared goal of the IIJS and MSME teams to help non-exporter members transition into global markets.
GJEPC officials delivered an in-depth presentation on three themes. The first explained why the Council is vital for exporters, outlining its role across trade facilitation, policymaking, international outreach, and market intelligence. The second offered a clear roadmap to starting exports, covering the IEC, documentation, logistics, finance, and compliance. The final segment detailed government schemes available to exporters, including credit support and MSME focused programmes.
The initiative signals GJEPC’s continued effort to prepare new entrants for global trade. The Council will roll out more sessions across major trading hubs in the months ahead.
