3 Curtain IIJS Wins Prestigious Exhibition Awards The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council was awarded bronze trophy for trade fair with highest number of exhibitors in Big Show category 2015 by Exhibition Excellence Awards. Last year, 1,077 exhibitors took part in IIJS show. The Council was also honoured with a plaque for being one of top 7 nominees in category of Global Dominance, India International Jewellery Show 2014 won gold prize in Exhibition of Year category at Wow Awards Asia NEWS BYTES Compulsory Hallmarking To Become A Reality Honored by Exhibition Showcase as Top-7 Nominations in Category Global Dominance 2015 Global Gold Demand Up 21% in Q1, Jewellery Demand Down 19% Global demand for gold surged 21% in first three months of 2016 to 1,289.8 tonnes (t), reported World Gold Council (WGC) in its quarterly publication Gold Demand Trends. This was strongest Q1 and second strongest quarter on record. The surge was driven primarily by investment demand with ETFs reporting inflows of a near-record 363.7t. However, price rally sparked by investor interest, along with or local factors, choked jewellery demand in two largest markets India and China, leading to a massive 19% drop in demand from jewellery sector to 481.9t. This was 115t below last year s 596.9t Q1 total with vast majority (99.3t) of decline being generated by India and China. Q saw Indian jewellery demand hit a seven-year low of 88.4t, a 41% year-on-year decline. This is 44% below five-year quarterly average for India of 156.7t. While demand was subdued in February on account of price factors, it nosedived in March following protracted all-india strike against government s decision to impose excise duty on jewellery manufacturing. The Bureau of Indian Standards Bill passed by Lok Sabha in December 2015 and by Rajya Sabhya on March 8, 2016, empowers government to make hallmarking of gold and silver mandatory. The bill, which will replace 30-year-old Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Act, will also widen scope of conformity assessment, enhance penalties, make offences compoundable and simplify certain provisions in Act. One can be jailed for up to two years and fined up to 10 times of goods value in case of violation related to misuse of standards. The bill will be implemented following presidential consent and notification by government.

Motiwala Mumbai At IIJS this year, I will focus on sourcing solitaires and loose diamonds. I will also visit jewellery section to scout for eye-catching designs.

I am hopeful that consumer sentiments will improve as we move closer to wedding season. exhibitor voices Couture mass produced Ankit Lodha Director Gie Gold Creations Pvt. Ltd. Jaipur I am participating in IIJS for 9th year. I must say that this is an ideal platform to meet old and new clients. Every year, of all buyers that I meet at show, about 20% are potential new customers. This IIJS is going to set buying pattern for whole year more so because of new government policies of excise and hallmarking. Consumers, too, are becoming aware about buying responsibly sourced jewellery and gems. We have to move with times and embrace changes for becoming more professional in our business approach. Sanjay Kumar Sanghi Managing Director Sanghi Jewellers Pvt. Ltd. Hyderabad I was first exhibitor from Hyderabad to participate in IIJS ever since it turned into a business-to-business show in I consider this show to be an important event and have sought a permanent slot at show in order to retain my old customers and my brand positioning, as well as meet new clients.

Anitha Proprietor Sri Padmaraj Jewellers Coimbatore This will be our tenth year at IIJS and given scenario, we are cautious but hopeful. The sourn region is doing well compared to north, which is yet to revive. We specialise in plain gold, lightweight jewellery, which is perfect for daily wear. We are now putting on our thinking caps to create extremely light weight jewellery with minimum grams of gold per piece. Rajesh Lakhani Director Kiran Gems Pvt. Ltd. Mumbai IIJS is a good platform to meet existing clients and showcase goods to prospective buyers. At moment, commercial categories are doing well. Currently, demand is quiet but it should normalise in 3 to 6 months. We are of view that IIJS 2016 should be good for loose diamonds and diamond jewellery exhibitors. Retailers should start buying by time IIJS begins.

At opening ceremony, GJEPC chairman Praveenshankar Pandya voiced a number of concerns by trade and announced a few proposals. It still takes more than two years to get VAT refunds, which blocks industry s working capital. In addition, Maharashtra government still does not have a SEZ policy in place, which is urgently needed so that local taxes are not applied on all inputs meant for export purposes only. The SEZ policy can be framed taking GST into account as it will be implemented soon, and we do not want to be caught between VAT and GST policies.
