Vipul Shah, Vice Chairman, GJEPC, added, The fast recovery of the Indian gem and jewellery industry is due to a combination of many factors: the government implemented timely policy measures; central banks injected sufficient liquidity into the system; mining companies supported midstream segment; demand has picked up from major market, the US; and strong online sales have compensated for the weak performance of physical stores.”
