India’s Minister of Commerce & Industry has launched the Gem & Jewellery Domestic Council in Mumbai on 28 January to ‘bring together all the different segments of the industry within India under a common banner’. The council will operate in the form of a federation and have trade associations as members and aims to strengthen domestic manufacturing and develop a wider base for exporting.
Gem Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) chairman Pramod Kumar Agrawal said: “This will help to organise our unorganised and small scale based domestic jewellery industry and help it to scale new heights. GJEPC is happy to offer all our support and guidance in the formation of the Council.” He predicts the council will help create three million more jobs and bring new artisans and craftsmen into the business.
