The India Gem & Jewellery Awards (IGJA), established 51 years ago by the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), continues to honour the leading contributors in the gems and jewellery industry. Recognized as a benchmark for excellence, the awards celebrate the efforts of companies driving growth and innovation in the sector.  

The selection criteria for IGJA have evolved over the years to include various parameters such as export performance, value addition, employment generation, and investments in research and development during each financial year. These benchmarks ensure a comprehensive evaluation of the industry’s top performers.  

In addition to recognizing companies that bolster 'Brand India,' the GJEPC extends its accolades to entities like banks that play a pivotal role in fostering the growth of the gems and jewellery sector.  

To uphold the integrity and credibility of the awards, Ernst & Young LLP, one of the world’s leading professional services firms, serves as the Knowledge Partner for IGJA, bringing rigorous evaluation processes to the initiative.  

Through IGJA, the GJEPC highlights the business excellence of individuals and organizations that continue to shape India's position as a global leader in the gems and jewellery industry.
