🌟 Gems & Jewellery Export Schemes
DGFT EXIM Consultants
The Gems & Jewellery Export Schemes are a set of government-backed initiatives under India's Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) — primarily governed by Chapter 4 — aimed at boosting the export of precious metals, gemstones, and jewellery. These schemes enable eligible exporters to import or procure duty-free inputs like gold, silver, platinum, and gemstones for manufacturing export products, subject to minimum value addition norms and compliance conditions.
Additionally, schemes like the Gold Monetization Scheme, Gold Metal Loan Scheme, and dedicated Special Economic Zones (SEZs) for the gems & jewellery sector further promote competitiveness and ease of doing business for exporters.
