The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his thumping win in the Lok Sabha elections and pledged to support his dynamic vision of creating a New India. As one of the biggest contributors to India’s GDP and merchandise exports, the gem and jewellery industry will naturally pay a huge role in supporting the government’s vision of India becoming a $5 trillion economy.
In his reciprocatory message to the GJEPC, the Prime Minister stated: “We will continue to make development a mass movement and provide progressive, development-oriented and corruption-free governance to build a strong, prosperous and inclusive India.” Read the PM’s full letter in the GJEPC News section (page 35).
The previous financial year 2018-19 witnessed its share of economic challenges, tightening liquidity, IGST on re-import consignments, and higher import duties on cut & polished diamonds and precious stones.

Read her first-hand account in the Cover Story.
