Jewellery Inclusion in FTWZ, Enabling Secure Storage and Display of High-value Inventory

Effectively Completes the Value Chain Within the SEZ-linked FTWZ Ecosystem.

In a significant policy clarification, the Government of India has brought jewellery under the ambit of Free Trade Warehousing Zones (FTWZ), extending the scope of the existing framework governed by the SEZ Rules, 2006.

Under a Circular dated 3rd March 2016, FTWZ units were already permitted to undertake storage and vaulting of precious commodities such as gold, silver, platinum, gems, and precious stones. The latest clarification now explicitly includes jewellery within this framework, effectively completing the value chain within the SEZ-linked FTWZ ecosystem.

This move follows consistent representations by GJEPC to the Government, highlighting the need to broaden the FTWZ framework to include jewellery, thereby enabling secure storage and display of high-value inventory within India.

This move addresses a critical gap in the existing framework by enabling finished jewellery to be stored, displayed, and traded within FTWZs, something that was not clearly permitted earlier. It also provides a secure mechanism for handling high-value inventory, which is particularly important during periods of global uncertainty. At the same time, it supports trade continuity by facilitating smoother consignment-based operations and more efficient global redistribution from India.

FTWZs in India offer a viable, well-regulated environment backed by SEZ infrastructure, providing both stability and operational efficiency. The move positions India as an additional, dependable hub within the global supply chain, offering flexibility to international traders while reinforcing confidence in India’s regulatory and trading ecosystem.

Every Day, A New Story: Mia By Tanishq Reimagines Billboard Advertising With Its ‘Precious, Every Day’ Calendar

The Brand Brings A Billboard That Turns A New Page Every Night To Bengaluru and Mumbai, Offering A Reminder That You Don’t Need To Wait For An Occasion To Wear Something Precious

What if a billboard had a new story to tell every single day? Mia by Tanishq, one of India’s leading contemporary fine jewellery brands, has transformed a billboard into a giant calendar that flips to a new page every night, each one pairing a new Mia piece with a line that finds something precious in that day of the week. The installation is on a 30-day run at the Domlur flyover gantry heading into Indiranagar in Bengaluru, following a week-long run on Mumbai’s Western Express Highway. At its heart is a simple insight: women often celebrate the people and milestones around them but hold back when it comes to celebrating themselves. Mia’s answer: you can be the occasion.

Last year, Mia’s calendar-themed billboard showcased a different jewellery piece in each date square. This edition takes the idea further. Each night, one of 30 calendar pages is physically turned to reveal a fresh line and a new Mia piece, while the Mia logo and ‘Precious, Every Day’ stay fixed. Commuters who pass the same stretch every morning find something new waiting for them.

The campaign reflects how jewellery has become an expression of mood and self-appreciation, not something kept only for gifting or festivities. A Monday page pairs Mia’s Blue Rhythm gold stud earrings, set with blue sapphires, with the line “The only Monday blues worth having,” turning the most dreaded day of the week into a playful one. Wednesday highlights personal victories with “Midweek? Stack your rings like your wins,” while Saturday encourages women to embrace the present with “Step out in the necklace you’ve been saving for ‘some’ day.” Each line starts with how a day already feels, from the Monday slump to the midweek push, and turns it into a reason to wear something precious.

Commenting on the campaign, Ajay Maurya, Head of Marketing and Category, Mia by Tanishq, said:

“More and more women are choosing jewellery for themselves, without waiting for a reason. These are not new behaviours we are trying to create, but everyday realities we are reflecting. A woman may simply feel good about herself and choose a piece of jewellery to mark it. With the ‘Precious, Every Day’ calendar, we wanted to bring that thought to the place where everyday life happens, the daily commute. A page that changes overnight gives people a small reason to look up, and a reminder that there is something precious in every day.”

With the ‘Precious, Every Day’ calendar, Mia by Tanishq turns a familiar outdoor format into a story told one page at a time, reminding women that the most precious moments are often the ones they choose for themselves. The activation was executed in partnership with Platinum Outdoor and Madison World.
