A delegation from the Meerut Bullion Traders Association (MBTA) led by Dr. Laxmikant Bajpai, engaged in discussions with the GJEPC on the sidelines of the India Gold & Jewellery Summit (IGJS) in New Delhi on 24th January. The focal point of the meeting was a proposal for the establishment of a Jewellery Park in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh.

GJEPC has agreed to undertake a feasibility study of the proposed Jewellery Park site by mid-February, following initial talks with the MBTA. The matter was previously deliberated upon during a meeting in Davos, where GJEPC, as part of the Uttar Pradesh Government's official delegation, engaged with an MBTA representative at the World Economic Forum.

Vipul Shah, chairman, GJEPC, affirmed the Council’s commitment to supporting the Meerut Jewellery Park project. “This will be an important project that aligns with the GJEPC’s vision to provide the necessary infrastructure to bolster the industry’s future growth ambitions. GJEPC will seek the cooperation of all stakeholders and the Government to make it a success,” Shah said.
