Closing the Global Technology Gap
Historically, Italian and German engineering set the gold standard for jewellery machinery. However, JMAIIE 2026 proved that the gap is rapidly narrowing. By empowering MSME players to adopt high-precision technology, the expo has become a primary engine for the “Make in India” initiative.
Key Highlights of the 5th Edition:
- Domestic Strength: Indian manufacturers across all segments displayed a full-strength presence, showcasing “world-class” capabilities.
- Global Participation: Over 50 direct international exhibitors participated from high-tech hubs including Italy, Germany, Turkey, China, the USA, and Japan.
- Economic Impact: The floor saw a high volume of quality visitors and serious buyers, resulting in significant firm orders and high-value transactions.

Kranti Nagvekar Founder, KNC Services was emphatic over the success of the show, she said, “ JMAIIE was a constructive event, critical for jewellery manufacturing hub like India. W e are seeing technology at par with international players, and cost effective. It is heartening to see Indian jewellery machinery exported to GCC, Africa and other regions globally.”
The “Make in India” Momentum
JMAIIE 2026 served as a definitive platform for technology integration and market expansion. The consensus among international attendees was clear: Indian machinery has achieved global standards of quality and is now being actively integrated into international manufacturing lines.
JMAIIE is proudly powered by the JMA Forum and organized by KNC Services. As the curtains close on this edition, the message is resonant: India is no longer just following global benchmarks—it is setting them.
