"India’s gem and jewellery industry stands at an important inflexion point, with new FTAs, the 15-year tax exemption on rough diamond sales through Special Notified Zones and stronger support for MSMEs providing a strong policy foundation for growth. He emphasised that the next opportunity lies in accelerating value addition, expanding finished jewellery exports and leveraging India’s world-class craftsmanship and manufacturing capabilities."

"Consumers are at the heart of everything we do at PGI. We have shared a long-standing association with Kalamandir Jewellers, which has consistently championed the platinum category and helped bring it closer to younger consumers. We congratulate the entire Kalamandir Jewellers team on taking this significant step in Vadodara with the launch of India’s largest Platinum Experience Zone. This concept moves the purchase moment beyond traditional display formats by putting consumer discovery and engagement at its centre. Platinum has a set of truly distinctive attributes, and the product becomes even more meaningful when the purchase experience reflects the same attention to detail and discernment. The new Platinum Experience Zone responds to how young consumers in India increasingly want to engage with jewellery today, and sets an important benchmark for how platinum can be presented at retail."
