Addressing the media, GJC announced the dates of the ninth edition of the India Gem and Jewellery Show, and also took the opportunity to unveil its new logo and identity.
The ninth edition of the India Gem and Jewellery Show (GJS), themed “Akshay Kala: The Eternal Art”, will be held from April 4 2026 to April 7 2026 at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai. This was announced by the All India Gem and Jewellery Domestic Council (GJC) at a media gathering on March 16, 2026. Strategically scheduled ahead of Akshaya Tritiya, and during the peak wedding season, the show is positioned as a key sourcing platform for retailers across India.
GJC also unveiled its new logo and visual identity at the media event, marking a shift towards a more contemporary and structured brand representation. The redesigned emblem reflects the its focus on transparency, growth and industry-wide unity, aligned with evolving expectations of a modern jewellery ecosystem.
Highlighting the broader vision behind these developments, Rajesh Rokde, Chairman, GJC, stated, “The ninth edition of Humara Apna Show is not just an exhibition — it is a celebration of India’s eternal artistry and festive spirit. Together, these initiatives reflect our commitment to preserving India’s rich jewellery legacy while guiding it toward a progressive and globally competitive future.”
The Council also outlined key initiatives including Manthan, a Vision 2047 conclave focused on policy and long-term industry strategy, and Mindspeak, a seminar series addressing consumer trends, innovation and retail transformation.
Speaking about the impact of global developments on the jewellery trade, particularly rising tensions in the Middle East, GJC noted that the region remains a critical hub for bullion trade, and any escalation could lead to short-term disruptions in supply chains, liquidity and price discovery.
The Council highlighted that volatility in gold prices ahead of Akshaya Tritiya could influence consumer purchasing behaviour. However, demand is expected to remain supported by the wedding season, and strong cultural affinity for gold.
The discussion Tariff-related disruptions and export challenges were also discussed during the press briefing. Despite export headwinds, GJC reiterated that its core focus remains on strengthening the domestic market. The Council emphasized that India’s design-led, handcrafted jewellery continues to find strong global acceptance, supported by the Indian diaspora, and the influence of weddings and cultural consumption.
Overall, the event positioned GJS April 2026 as more than a trade exhibition, highlighting its role as an integrated platform for sourcing, knowledge exchange and industry alignment amid an evolving global and economic landscape.
