The conclave, held in Kolkata on 30<span class=\"s1\"><sup>th<\/sup><\/span> August, brought together industry leaders, policymakers, and trade experts to deliberate on the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of India\u2019s gem and jewellery sector.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In his address, Sabyasachi Ray, Executive Director, GJEPC, underscored India\u2019s commanding position in the global diamond value chain. He noted that India processes nearly 90% of the world\u2019s diamonds, making it the undisputed leader in cutting, polishing, and trading. \u201cIndia is not only the world\u2019s trusted hub for diamonds but is also expanding its influence across the entire gem and jewellery value chain,\u201d Ray stated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He highlighted GJEPC\u2019s initiatives to strengthen the sector\u2019s competitiveness, including policy advocacy, global trade shows, mega common facility centres, skill development programmes, and the promotion of \u201cBrand India\u201d in key international markets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Adding the government\u2019s perspective, R. Arulanandan, Director, Department of Commerce, said: \u201cIndia processes nearly 90% of the world\u2019s rough diamonds by volume, employing over one million workers directly. However, the recent hike in U.S. tariffs to 50% threatens up to 200,000 jobs, particularly in Surat. India is actively engaging with global partners to mitigate these challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Other keynote speakers included Dr. V. Anantha Nageswaran, Chief Economic Adviser, Government of India; and Ms. Vandana Yadav, Principal Secretary, Government of West Bengal, alongside senior leaders from De Beers, Senco Gold, and other companies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Discussions centred on sustaining India\u2019s global leadership by addressing U.S. tariffs, ensuring ease of doing business, embracing sustainability, and driving technological innovation. The conclave also explored strategies for expanding domestic consumption, strengthening export markets, and building resilience against geopolitical and trade headwinds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC) hosted the Diamond Conclave 2.0, themed \u201cIndia Shining for the Global Stage,\u201d with GJEPC as co-partner.
