In his address, Shri Devendra Fadnavis, Hon\u2019ble Chief Minister of Maharashtra, said, \u201cThe India Jewellery Park Mumbai is the future of our gem and jewellery industry.

\u201cAs India expands its global trade partnerships through Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with key markets, our industry stands to gain new opportunities for exports, market access, and international collaboration. The India Jewellery Park Mumbai will provide the infrastructure and ecosystem needed to seize these opportunities and take Indian jewellery manufacturing to greater heights. Maharashtra is committed to supporting this growth through progressive policies, a business-friendly environment and strong infrastructure. Together with GJEPC, we are laying the foundation for a stronger, more competitive, and globally connected gem and jewellery industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, stated, \u201cIndia Jewellery Park Mumbai is a landmark project that will give fresh impetus to Maharashtra\u2019s economic growth. From Zaveri Bazaar, SEEPZ to Bharat Diamond Bourse, Maharashtra has built a strong legacy in this industry. India Jewellery Park Mumbai will take that legacy forward by bringing manufacturing, skilled artisans, design, technology, and innovation together under one roof.<\/p>\n

Our artisans and skilled designers are the backbone of this industry. Through skill development, we will create new opportunities for our youth, empower our workforce, and help our manufacturers compete on the global stage. This is not just a project for the gem and jewellery industry; it is a major step towards building a stronger, more self-reliant Maharashtra.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Shri Ganesh Naik, Minister of Forests, Government of Maharashtra, reiterated, \u201cMaharashtra has always been at the forefront of India\u2019s economic and industrial growth. The jewellery park in Navi Mumbai will be a major milestone in strengthening the state\u2019s position as a global hub for the gems and jewellery industry. With the support of the government and industry stakeholders, this landmark project will create new opportunities for investment, employment, and growth, while giving a strong boost to the sector. IJPM will contribute to Maharashtra\u2019s economic progress and help realise the vision of a developed India, as envisaged by Hon\u2019ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi under Viksit Bharat.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Addressing the audience, Shri Kirit Bhansali, Chairman, GJEPC, said, \u201cIJPM will be a game-changer for India’s gem and jewellery industry. By bringing manufacturers, artisans and allied services under one roof, it will create new opportunities for MSMEs, encourage investment, generate employment and strengthen India’s jewellery manufacturing capabilities. With the support of the Maharashtra Government and the incentives offered under the Maharashtra Gems and Jewellery Policy 2025, the Park will help businesses grow, promote Indian jewellery brands and enhance our competitiveness in global markets. It will be an important step towards achieving India’s ambitious gem and jewellery export targets and establishing Brand India as a global symbol of craftsmanship, quality and innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The project will benefit from the Maharashtra Government\u2019s policy support for the gem and jewellery sector. Incentives outlined for eligible units include stamp duty and MIDC transfer fee exemptions, a 50% SGST waiver for the specified eligibility period, electricity duty exemptions and interest subsidies on term loans for MSMEs. Eligible lab-grown diamond units may also benefit from electricity tariff support, subject to the applicable conditions. A single-window clearance mechanism under the MAITRI policy is intended to simplify approvals and improve the ease of doing business.<\/p>\n

The project has already generated encouraging interest from industry participants, with more than 70 companies expressing interest in investing in the Park. This response reflects industry confidence in the project\u2019s potential and the opportunity to build a modern, globally competitive manufacturing ecosystem in Maharashtra.<\/p>\n

The Maharashtra Government\u2019s dedicated Gems and Jewellery Policy 2025 further strengthen the investment proposition by providing sector-specific support. The Park is expected to facilitate business expansion, create opportunities for skilled and semi-skilled workers, and strengthen the network of ancillary services that support jewellery manufacturing.<\/p>\n
