The GJEPC hails the Union Cabinet’s Export Promotion Mission as a transformative step that strengthens MSMEs, boosts global competitiveness, and accelerates India’s journey toward $ 100 billion gem and jewellery exports by 2047.

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.

The recently signed India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) is set to significantly reshape the landscape for Indian gem and jewellery exports, granting zero-duty access to the UK market for the first time. The agreement removes existing tariffs of up to 4% on jewellery exports, delivering an immediate competitive edge for Indian exporters and reducing cost pressures across the supply chain
