India’s gems & jewellery exports likely to remain flat in FY18: GJEPC

09 Nov 2017 Evaluate

Apex industry body the Gems and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), under the Ministry of Commerce, has said that India's gems and jewellery exports are likely to remain flat in the financial year 2017-18, mainly due to economic slowdown in the overseas market, the introduction of VAT in Dubai and implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime in July 2017.

The GJEPC Chairman, Praveenshankar Pandya has stated that they saw a decline of 10 percent in overall gems and jewellery exports in the first six months of FY18. However, he also said that overseas shipments fell in the first half of FY18, but the situation is likely to improve in the second half, and the total shipments are likely to be around the same level as the previous fiscal year. He highlighted that the country exported gems and jewellery worth Rs 2.89 lakh crore in FY17, up 12.32 percent from the previous year.

Adding further, the Chairman has said that the diamond trade is a community in itself, therefore it is important to collaborate (among its members) so as to create and nurture sustainable growth. He also said that overseas buyers need to meet face to face and forge good relationships. He mentioned that the India International Diamond Week is a very good forum as it shifts focus from regional buying to global buying at the most competitive rates.
