GJS April 2026: The 9th edition of the India Gems and Jewellery Show (GJS April 2026) officially opened its doors today at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai. Known as“Humara Apna Show,” the premier B2B exhibition was inaugurated by Chief Guest Shri Chandrashekhar Bawankule Ji, Minister of Revenue, Maharashtra, marking a significant milestone for the Indian jewellery industry. This 4-day grand event of GJS April 2026 is being held from April 4 to April 7.
Following a highly successful “Manthan” conclave held yesterday, the event has transitioned into its core exhibition phase, focusing on trade, innovation, and the “Vision 2047” roadmap.
Inaugural Ceremony and Retail Excellence
The grand opening today, 4th April 2026, was graced by industry leaders and policymakers. Beyond the ribbon-cutting, the day is highlighted by the AOJ Retail Award, a prestigious ceremony dedicated to honoring excellence, corporate ethics, and innovation within the retail jewellery sector.
The theme of this edition, “Akshay Kala: The Eternal Art,” is evident across the floor as over 400 exhibitors unveiled collections specifically curated for the upcoming Akshaya Tritiya and wedding seasons.
Refining the Industry: The Manthan Conclave
The momentum for today’s opening was built during yesterday’s Manthan seminar. A powerful platform where ideas are churned and the future of the industry is shaped, Manthan was a high-impact research seminar dedicated to building the Vision Blueprint 2047—positioning India as the Jeweller to the World.
Presented by the World Gold Council (WGC) and powered by GIA, the seminar brought together the India Gold Policy Centre (IGPC), IIM Ahmedabad, and various policymakers to deliberate on critical industry pillars.
