The ceremony was graced by Chief Guest, Shri Piyush Goyal, Hon\u2019ble Minister of Commerce & Industry, Government of India, and attended by Honoured Guest, Shri Vimal Anand, IRS, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Govt. of India; Shri Dnyaneshwar B. Patil, Zonal Development Commissioner, SEEPZ; Smt. Mital Hiremath, Jt. Development Commissioner, Pune Cluster; Shri Mayur R. Mankar, Jt.

In his address, Shri Piyush Goyal said SEEPZ is at the cusp of major change, supported by lower power tariffs, waste-to-wealth gains, digital processes and strengthened governance systems. He emphasised that true progress rests on collective integrity and transparent practices, urging industry members to actively support honest systems and responsible use of every plot and unit within the zone.<\/p>\n

He reiterated the Government\u2019s commitment to Jan Vishwas \u2014 trust-based governance \u2014 and to simplifying laws, reducing compliances and enhancing ease of doing business. He encouraged industry to think bigger and adopt future-ready systems that reflect the aspirations of a modern, self-confident India.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith new FTAs, modernised infrastructure and a vision for a $30\u201335 trillion economy by 2047, India is moving at unprecedented speed,\u201d Shri Goyal said. \u201cSEEPZ must match this pace. Government is your partner \u2014 help us help you grow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shri Dnyaneshwar B. Patil, IAS, Zonal Development Commissioner, SEEPZ, described the day as a proud moment for the entire SEEPZ fraternity. He noted that Shri Piyush Goyal\u2019s guidance has strengthened every step of SEEPZ\u2019s transformation, particularly after the success of NEST-2. He shared that work on NEST-3 \u2014 a project three times larger and designed to global standards \u2014 is already in progress and targeted for completion within two years.<\/p>\n

He highlighted SEEPZ\u2019s progress across governance, revenue generation and digital transformation. Revenues have risen from \u20b986 crore to a projected \u20b9120 crore this year, while waste-to-wealth initiatives have grown sharply from \u20b980 lakh to \u20b911.66 crore. With India\u2019s first in-house SEZ ERP, 24\/7 Customs operations, and the country\u2019s first Foreign Post Office for e-commerce exports inside an SEZ, SEEPZ continues to close the gap with international benchmarks. He also emphasised the need for Global FSI approval from MIDC, describing it as a crucial next step to realise SEEPZ\u2019s full potential as a world-class export hub.<\/p>\n

Addressing the gathering, Shri Adil Kotwal, President, SGJMA, said that NEST-2 represents renewed purpose and India\u2019s rising stature in the global jewellery sector. He noted that SEEPZ exports have grown from \u20b923,000 crore to nearly \u20b930,000 crore between April and November \u2014 a 30% surge despite global headwinds. He underlined industry expectations from ongoing bilateral trade negotiations and expressed hope that agreements with countries such as the US, Thailand and Vietnam will support a level playing field.<\/p>\n

Kotwal further added, \u201cWe have the talent, the manufacturing strength, and decades of global trust \u2014 and now, with the Government\u2019s support, the ecosystem to scale new heights. SEEPZ stands committed to adopting new technologies, strengthening compliance, investing in advanced manufacturing and upholding the highest standards of sustainability and global competitiveness. SEEPZ is not just a manufacturing zone \u2014 it is an ecosystem of over one lakh people. As we prepare for the next phase of redevelopment, our key request is the creation of a single-window clearance system within SEEPZ by 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

The inauguration closed with a reaffirmation of SEEPZ\u2019s commitment to building a competitive, transparent and innovation-driven export hub that strengthens India\u2019s global leadership in jewellery manufacturing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
