    GJEPC and the Export-Import Bank of India (EXIM Bank) have joined forces to initiate a comprehensive cluster study in Kolkata aimed at driving export growth in the gem and jewellery sector.

    A meeting was held at the Ankurhati Gems & Jewellery Park in Howrah district on Tuesday, 1st October, to identify the specific needs of stakeholders and assess the support required to make the clusters more export-oriented. The collaboration between GJEPC and EXIM Bank seeks to develop the potential of clusters across the district level, thereby boosting exports from the state of West Bengal.

    The meeting was attended by Ms. Rupa Dutta, Senior Advisor, EXIM Bank; Mr. Ashok Bengani, President, Ankurhati Gem & Jewelry Park; and Mr. Sabyasachi Ray, Executive Director, GJEPC. Following presentations and discussions, Mr. Ray and Ms. Dutta, accompanied by senior officials, visited manufacturing units within the Park to gain firsthand insights into the skills of local artisans and the future export potential of the region.

    This joint initiative underscores the commitment of GJEPC and EXIM Bank to support the growth of the gem and jewellery industry in Kolkata and contribute to the overall economic development of the state.
