GJC 2026: The All India Gem & Jewellery Domestic Council (GJC) highlighted that rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly around key bullion hub Dubai, may cause short-term volatility in global gold prices ahead of the Akshay Tritiya season, potentially impacting jewellery pricing and consumer buying trends in India, though demand is expected to remain stable due to the wedding season, cultural affinity for gold, and organised retail growth.
At the same time, India continues to dominate the global diamond trade with hubs like Surat and Mumbai, while GJC is set to host the 9th edition of the India Gems and Jewellery Show (GJS April 2026) at the Jio World Convention Centre featuring over 400 exhibitors and 15,000+ visitors, alongside key initiatives like the Manthan seminar in collaboration with the India Gold Policy Centre, Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, and the World Gold Council to shape Vision Blueprint 2047, Mindspeak sessions on industry trends, an exclusive session with Vivek Bindra, and the unveiling of GJC’s new logo symbolising unity, growth, and the sector’s rising contribution to the economy.
According to GJC, despite the likelihood of price volatility, the Indian jewellery industry anticipates stable demand, supported by the ongoing wedding season, strong cultural affinity toward gold, and the increasing presence of organised retail. Consumers are gradually shifting toward lighter gold jewellery and diamond-studded designs when prices rise.
India remains a dominant force in the global diamond trade, processing over 90% of the world’s diamonds by volume. Surat and Mumbai continue to act as major centres supplying polished diamonds to markets across the US, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

GJC Unveils New Logo Reflecting Growth and Unity
The All India Gem and Jewellery Domestic Council (GJC) also introduced its new official logo, marking a significant milestone in its journey and reaffirming its commitment to strengthening India’s extensive gem and jewellery ecosystem. The unveiling celebrated GJC’s refreshed identity, inspired by continued passion and reflecting the council’s dedication to the industry’s growth and progress.
At the centre of the emblem is a diamond shape, representing the strength and unity of nearly six lakh businesses that form the backbone of the industry—from artisans and manufacturers to wholesalers and retailers. Within the diamond, the letter ‘G’ symbolises Gems, Gold, and Growth, which are the core pillars of GJC’s mission.
A prominent upward arrow in the design represents progress, innovation, and the sector’s growing contribution to India’s economy, while also underlining its commitment to skill development and modernisation. The gold and emerald colour palette signifies prosperity, trust, and sustainability, aligning with GJC’s motto — Protecting, Progressing and Promoting the Indian Gem & Jewellery Industry.
Rajesh Rokde, Chairman, GJC, said:
“The 9th edition of Humara Apna Show is not just an exhibition—it is a celebration of India’s eternal artistry and festive spirit. Timed perfectly between Gudi Padwa and Akshaya Tritiya, GJS 2026 will showcase exquisite collections and strengthen trade ties across the value chain. Alongside this, Manthan will provide a vital platform for ideas and policy discussions, shaping India’s vision as the Jeweller to the World. At the same time, the unveiling of our new logo marks a defining milestone, symbolising the strength of our industry through the diamond and its forward momentum through the arrow. Together, these initiatives reflect our commitment to preserving India’s rich jewellery legacy while guiding it toward a progressive and globally competitive future.”
Avinash Gupta, Vice Chairman, GJC, said:
“GJS April 2026 is designed as a powerful platform for jewellers of all sizes to explore new designs, discover emerging trends, and connect with peers across the industry. With over 400 exhibitors and interactive Mindspeak seminars, the show will boost festive demand and spark fresh ideas that will shape the future of the trade. Our new emblem further reinforces this vision—capturing Gems, Gold, and Growth as the pillars of our mission. The upward arrow within the diamond reflects our rising economic contribution and continuous drive for innovation, skill development, and sustainability.
What makes GJS truly impactful is that it is not just a trade show, but a comprehensive industry movement. It begins with Manthan – the Gems and Jewellery Conclave, where the brightest minds of the jewellery industry come together to churn ideas and shape the Vision Blueprint 2047, positioning India as the Jeweller to the World. Alongside this, Mindspeak will bring together industry experts and thought leaders to share insights, while the exhibition floor enables jewellers from across the country to complete their buying ahead of Akshaya Tritiya and the upcoming wedding season, making GJS April 2026 a powerful platform for ideas, dialogue, and business growth.”
Saiyam Mehra, Immediate Past Chairman & Convenor of GJS, said:
“GJS has always been about empowering jewellers with opportunities that go beyond business. The Exclusive Session for Elite Family Jewellers exemplifies this mission, offering transformative insights on leadership and growth. By curating such experiences, GJS reinforces its role as the ultimate destination for inspiration, innovation, and excellence. Alongside this, our refreshed identity embodies resilience and dynamism—ensuring that family jewellers and industry stakeholders alike are equipped to navigate the future with confidence and vision.”
