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.
