The fourth edition of IIJS Bharat Tritiya 2026 concluded at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre after running from March 21 to 23. The business-to-business jewellery exhibition brought together more than 1,100 exhibitors from over 40 cities across 1,900-plus stalls, alongside the concurrent India Gem & Jewellery Machinery Expo.
According to a report by GJEPC, the event was supported by government bodies and trade associations, and featured an inauguration attended by Karnataka industries commissioner Gunjan Krishna and officials from the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council, the Jewellers Association Bengaluru and the Karnataka State Jewellers Federation. An MoU between GJEPC and the Jewellers Association Bengaluru was also signed during the opening.
The GJEPC report said the show included 270-plus new companies, a premium “Select Club” section for couture jewellery and a Crafts Pavilion focused on GI-tagged jewellery traditions. Organisers also highlighted export growth of more than 4% between April 2025 and February 2026, reaching ₹2.28 lakh crore.
As reported by GJEPC, exhibitors described cautious buying due to volatile gold prices and geopolitical uncertainty, though many said the event remained useful for business meetings and networking. Some participants reported steady domestic demand, particularly for lightweight and value-driven jewellery, while export orders remained under pressure.
