Mumbai will host two trade events for the diamond industry in mid-October, with the 3rd India Diamond Week, a Buyer-Seller meet organised by The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) being held from October 15-17, 2019 and the 3rd Bharat Diamond Week (BDW), a trade exhibition organised by the Bharat Diamond Bourse (BDB) running from October 14-16, 2019.

The India Diamond Week will host groups of specially invited and pre-registered buyers from key target markets.

"The Bharat Diamond Bourse and the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council are the two largest and most important organisations representing our trade in India and promoting it abroad. We welcome all visitors and buyers to the Bharat Diamond Bourse."
