Jaipur: Rajasthan’s capital is set to strengthen its position as a global gemstone hub with the development of the ambitious Jaipur Gem and Jewellery Bourse (JJB) project in Sitapura. The large-scale infrastructure project aims to create a world-class trading and business ecosystem for the gems and jewellery industry, with completion targeted by 2028.
Landmark Project for Jewellery Industry
The Jaipur Gem and Jewellery Bourse is being developed as a dedicated international trading centre to support manufacturers, exporters, traders, and allied service providers. The project is a joint initiative involving the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) and the Jewellers Association Jaipur through a special purpose vehicle.
The bourse is expected to house between 1,500 and 2,000 units, including gemstone traders, jewellery businesses, laboratories, banks, logistics providers, and security services, making it one of the largest integrated hubs of its kind in India.
Strategic Location and Infrastructure
The project is coming up in Sitapura Industrial Area, one of Jaipur’s प्रमुख industrial zones. Around 44,000 square meters of land has been allocated for the development of the bourse, providing ample space for modern infrastructure and future expansion.
The facility is planned as a high-tech complex with advanced security systems, trading halls, display centres, customs clearance facilities, and dedicated zones for domestic and international trade.
