Positioned between Gudi Padwa and Akshaya Tritiya, and aligned with the peak wedding season, GJS April 2026 is expected to see participation from over 400 exhibitors across 700+ booths
Mumbai: The All India Gem and Jewellery Domestic Council (GJC) will host the 9th edition of the India Gems and Jewellery Show (GJS) — known as ‘Humara Apna Show’ — from April 4 to 7, 2026 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai. The upcoming edition, themed ‘Akshay Kala: The Eternal Art’, will spotlight craftsmanship, innovation and trade, while also hosting a series of knowledge-led industry forums. This was announced by the GJC leadership at a media conference, where they unveiled GJC’s refreshed brand identity in the form of a new logo.
The new logo incorporates a diamond motif symbolizing unity across the industry’s nearly six lakh businesses, alongside an integrated ‘G’ representing gems, gold and growth. An upward arrow within the design reflects progress, innovation and the sector’s increasing economic contribution, while the gold and emerald palette underscores trust, prosperity and sustainability.
Positioned between Gudi Padwa and Akshaya Tritiya, and aligned with the peak wedding season, GJS April 2026 is expected to see participation from over 400 exhibitors across 700+ booths, drawing more than 15,000 visitors. The event continues to evolve as a key business platform for India’s gem and jewellery industry, combining trade, knowledge exchange and policy dialogue. Ahead of the exhibition, GJC will host ‘Manthan’ on April 3 — a high-level conclave organized in collaboration with the India Gold Policy Centre, an initiative supported by the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad and the World Gold Council. The forum will bring together policy-makers, industry leaders and stakeholders to discuss sector priorities and shape the Vision Blueprint 2047, aimed at positioning India as the ‘Jeweller to the World’.
Complementing this, Mindspeak — a seminar series held alongside GJS — will focus on consumer trends, product innovation, digital transformation and retail strategies, while an exclusive leadership session for elite family jewellers will feature business coach Vivek Bindra.
Highlighting the significance of the upcoming edition of GJS, Rajesh Rokde, Chairman, GJC, said, “The 9th edition of ‘Humara Apna Show’ is timed perfectly between Gudi Padwa and Akshaya Tritiya. It 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, symbolizing 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 towards a progressive and globally competitive future.”
Avinash Gupta, Vice Chairman, GJC, emphasized the show’s integrated approach to business and knowledge. “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,” he said, adding that the initiative goes beyond a trade fair to create a comprehensive industry movement.
Saiyam Mehra, Immediate Past Chairman of GJC and Convenor of GJS, highlighted the experiential aspect of the platform. “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.”
Amid preparations for the show, GJC also flagged potential near-term volatility in gold prices due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Industry stakeholders noted that disruptions in key hubs such as Dubai could impact bullion flows and price discovery. However, demand in India is expected to remain stable, supported by the wedding season and sustained cultural affinity for gold, with consumers increasingly shifting towards lighter and diamond-studded jewellery in a high-price environment.
India continues to dominate the global diamond trade, processing over 90% of the world’s diamonds by volume, with hubs such as Surat and Mumbai playing a pivotal role in supplying polished stones to international markets.
