Yogesh Mudras, said, “India is leading the number one position among the top exporters in cut and polished diamonds and second position in gold jewellery, silver jewellery and lab grown diamonds. The second quarter of 2021 has been satisfactory for businesses as establishments were better prepared for lockdowns compared with 2020.
Total jewellery demand in terms of volume increased by 25 per cent YoY to 55 tonnes in the second quarter of 2021, he said the recent move by the Indian Government making hallmarking mandatory for Gold Jewellery and Artefacts, we believe, this is an important step for a country like India where gold is purchased from organised as well as unorganised players.
It will standardize the purity of gold jewellery and lead to a more structured sector, creating a fair ecosystem for smaller jewellers and the community at large, he added.
Mahender Tayal, said this is a great platform for the manufacturers, Wholesalers, retailers and designers to come along and network together. It is giving an opportunity to each and everyone in the Industry to contribute towards business growth.
