GJC Announces 9th Edition of GJS April 2026 “Akshay Kala: The Eternal Art” and Unveils Its New Logo
The All India Gem & Jewellery Domestic Council (GJC) stated that rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East could lead to short-term volatility in global gold prices ahead of the Akshay Tritiya buying season, potentially influencing jewellery prices and consumer purchasing trends in India.
Industry leaders noted that the Middle East, particularly Dubai, remains a key global hub for bullion trade and a major gateway for gold entering Asian markets, including India. Any escalation in the region could impact global bullion liquidity, disrupt supply chains, and influence price discovery.
Despite potential price fluctuations, the Indian jewellery industry expects demand to remain steady, supported by the ongoing wedding season, strong cultural affinity for gold, and the growing presence of organised retail. Consumers are increasingly opting for lighter gold jewellery and diamond-studded designs when prices rise.
India continues to remain a global leader in the diamond trade, processing over 90% of the world’s diamonds by volume, with Surat and Mumbai serving as major hubs supplying polished diamonds to markets across the US, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
GJS: The All India Gem and Jewellery Domestic Council (GJC), the apex industry body representing India’s domestic gem and jewellery sector, will host the 9th edition of the India Gems and Jewellery Show (GJS April 2026), affectionately known as “Humara Apna Show.” The most premium B2B jewellery exhibition is set to take place from 4th to 7th April 2026 at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai.

Mr. Rajesh Rokde, Chairman, GJC
“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.”
Mr. Avinash Gupta, Vice Chairman, GJC
“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.”

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.”
