Our annual exports amounting to $40 billion underscore our strength and expertise in this sector, supporting the employment of over five million individuals.

"We remain steadfast in nurturing robust international trade relationships between India and the global markets. This commitment is demonstrated through initiatives such as IGJS and by actively enabling opportunities for our exporters through participation in international events.”

Conceived to showcase the best of India to the world, the IGJS is held each year in Dubai and Jaipur, exclusively for the global audience. The show is a curated gathering of India's top gem and jewellery manufacturers and exporters. It reinforces GJEPC's vision to make India the preferred source for world-class gems and jewellery.
