GJEPC has announced its newly elected Committee of Administration members for 2025, strengthening representation across key jewellery sectors including diamonds, silver, gold, studded jewellery, lab-grown diamonds, and regional leadership.

With the steep Trump tariffs now having come into play, the cutting, polishing, manufacturing and export hubs of India are facing severe problems, with joblessness and unit-closure a distinct possibility. The silver lining is that the GJEPC is hopeful of a solution, particularly in view of the advocacy efforts of its US counterparts, who are also working hard to impress upon the Trump administration that the high tariffs will have a deleterious effect on the US jewellery industry as well. In a free-wheeling conversation with Suneeta Kaul, Kirit Bhansali, Chairman, GJEPC, talks about the impact of the tariffs, the steps being taken to bring about some relief to the industry, its expectation from the government, and more.

While urging the U.S. to uphold its strong trade ties with India, GJEPC calls for a Bilateral Trade Agreement to mitigate the impact and ensure long-term stability for the sector
