London: With the India–UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) set to come into force on 15 July 2026, India’s Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) has brought together 20 leading Indian gem & jewellery manufacturers and prominent UK buyers for two days of focused business meetings at the Arsenal Executive Box, Emirates Stadium, London.

The event marks another significant step towards strengthening bilateral trade, fostering new partnerships, and unlocking fresh opportunities for India’s gem & jewellery sector in the UK market.

At the India–UK Buyer-Seller Meet (BSM) 2026, Ms. Nidhi Mani Tripathi, Hon’ble Minister (Economic), High Commission of India, London, UK, highlighted how the gem & jewellery sector has been a key focus under the India–UK CETA and underscored the immense opportunities it creates for exporters and manufacturers.

She noted that India–UK bilateral trade has already crossed USD 55 billion, with a shared ambition to double it to nearly USD 120 billion by 2030–31. She also highlighted the strong investment partnership, with over 600 British companies investing nearly USD 37 billion in India, while Indian investments in the UK continue to grow rapidly.

As the India–UK CETA comes into force on 15 July, the gem & jewellery industry is well-positioned to strengthen partnerships, unlock new opportunities, and accelerate bilateral trade and investment.

The India–UK CETA is more than a trade agreement—it is a launchpad for deeper economic integration, stronger investments, and unprecedented growth for businesses on both sides.
