The India Gems and Jewellery Show April 2026, organised by the All India Gem and Jewellery Domestic Council (GJC), concluded its four-day run at the Jio World Convention Centre on April 8.

The show, held from April 4, was inaugurated by Chandrashekhar Bawankule. The event recorded participation from 350 exhibitors across 650 booths and attracted over 9,000 visitors from across India.

The exhibition was strategically timed ahead of Akshay Tritiya and the wedding season, contributing to strong buying activity. Exhibitors reported demand across lightweight jewellery, bridal segments, and investment products such as coins and bars.

The event opened with the Manthan seminar, organized in collaboration with the World Gold Council and India Gold Policy Centre. Discussions focused on Vision 2047, ease of doing business, and competitive challenges.

Knowledge sessions under the Mindspeak series addressed technology adoption, artificial intelligence, profitability, and luxury trends. The programme also included a Maharashtra State Vigilance Committee workshop attended by around 300 jewellers, where industry size, employment contribution, and policy recommendations were discussed.

Speaking at the inauguration, Chandrashekhar Bawankule said, “GJS has welcomed exhibitors from across the country… Last year, India’s gem and jewellery business clocked Rs 12 lakh crores, and I am confident… it will cross Rs 15 lakh crores this year.”

Rajesh Rokde, Chairman, GJC, said, “This edition of GJS has been a resounding success, with sales momentum supported by the recent correction in gold prices, Akshay Tritiya sentiment, and auspicious muhurat buying.”

Avinash Gupta added, “The vibrant participation of exhibitors and visitors reflects the strength and unity of our fraternity.”

Saiyam Mehra noted that exhibitors reported strong trading activity and record orders across segments, supported by festive demand and market sentiment.

GJC stated it will continue industry initiatives including training programmes and future editions of GJS to support trade growth and engagement.
