Recruitment process in Gems & Jewellery

The Gems and Jewellery sector plays a significant role in the Indian economy, contributing around 7 per cent of the country’s GDP and 15 per cent to India’s total merchandise exports. It also employs over 4.64 million workers and is expected to employ 8.23 million by 2022. One of the fastest growing sectors, it is extremely export oriented and labour intensive.

Based on its potential for growth and value addition, the Government of India has declared the Gems and Jewellery sector as a focus area for export promotion. The Government has recently undertaken various measures to promote investments and to upgrade technology and skills to promote ‘Brand India’ in the international market.

India is deemed to be the hub of the global jewellery market because of its low costs and availability of high-skilled labour. India is the world’s largest cutting and polishing centre for diamonds, with the cutting and polishing industry being well supported by government policies. Moreover, India exports 75 per cent of the world’s polished diamonds, as per statistics from the Gems and Jewellery Export promotion Council (GJEPC). India’s Gems and Jewellery sector has been contributing in a big way to the country’s foreign exchange earnings (FEEs). The Government of India has viewed the sector as a thrust area for export promotion. The Indian government presently allows 100 per cent Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the sector through the automatic route.

Gold demand in India rose to 338.70 tonnes between January to June 2018. India’s gems and jewellery exports stood at US$ 13.18 billion between April — August 2018*. During the same period, exports of cut and polished diamonds stood at US$ 10.31 billion, thereby contributing about 78.22 per cent of the total gems and jewellery exports in value terms. Exports of gold coins and medallions stood at US$ 201.75 million and silver jewellery export stood at US$ 239.04 million between April — August 2018.

The gems and jewellery market in India is home to more than 300,000 players, with the majority being small players. Its market size is about US$ 75 billion as of 2017 and is expected to reach US$ 100 billion by 2025. It contributes 29 per cent to the global jewellery consumption.

India is one of the largest exporters of gems and jewellery and the industry is considered to play a vigorous role in the Indian economy as it contributes a major chunk to the total foreign reserves of the country. The Goods and Services Tax (GST) and monsoon will steer India’s gold demand going forward.

The Gems and Jewellery sector is witnessing changes in consumer preferences due to adoption of western lifestyle. Consumers are demanding new designs and varieties in jewellery, and branded jewellers are able to fulfil their changing demands better than the local unorganized players. Moreover, increase in per capita income has led to an increase in sales of jewellery, as jewellery is a status symbol in India.

The cumulative Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows in diamond and gold ornaments in the period April 2000 — June 2018 were US$ 1.15 billion, according to Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP).

Some of the key investments in this industry are listed below.

Deals worth Rs 8,000 crore (US$ 1.19 billion) were made at the Indian International Jewellery Show held in August 2018.

Companies such as PC Jewellers, PNG Jewellers, Popley and Sons, are planning to introduce a virtual-reality (VR) experience for their customers. The customer will have to wear a VR headset, through which they can select any jewellery, see the jewellery from different angles and zoom on it to view intricate designs.

The Government of India would notify a new limit for reporting about transactions in gold and other precious metals and stones to authorities, to avoid the parking of black money in bullion.

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has revised the standard on gold hallmarking in India from January 2018. The gold jewellery hallmark will now carry a BIS mark, purity in carat and fitness as well as the unit’s identification and the jeweller’s identification mark. The move is aimed at ensuring a quality check on gold jewellery.

The Government of India has planned to set up a Common Facility Center (CFC) at Thrissur, Kerala.

The Gems and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) to build India’s largest jewellery park in at Ghansoli in Navi-Mumbai on a 25 acres land with about more than 5000 jewellery units of various sizes ranging from 500–10,000 square feet. The overall investment of Rs 13,500 crore (US$ 2.09 billion).

In the coming years, growth in Gems and Jewellery sector would be largely contributed by the development of large retailers/brands. Established brands are guiding the organized market and are opening opportunities to grow. Increasing penetration of organized players provides variety in terms of products and designs. Online sales are expected to account for 1–2 per cent of the fine jewellery segment by 2021–22. Also, the relaxation of restrictions of gold import is likely to provide a fillip to the industry. The improvement in availability along with the reintroduction of low cost gold metal loans and likely stabilisation of gold prices at lower levels is expected to drive volume growth for jewellers over short to medium term. The demand for jewellery is expected to be significantly supported by the recent positive developments in the industry.

BSNL may become a dividend-paying operator if voluntary retirement scheme gets Centre’s nod

Latest Updates - CA Mitesh NEW DELHI: State-run telco Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (BSNL) could become a dividend-paying operator even in the current stressful times, if its headcount is streamlined like private sector players, once the voluntary retirement scheme (VRS) gets the Centre’s nod. “Salary expenses which constitute nearly 65% of the revenue, are dragging us down. If we had employees in a ratio similar to private players, we would be a divident-paying company as of today,” BSNL chairman Anupam Shrivastava told ET.Meanwhile, a letter of comfort for Presidential sanction of Rs 3500 crore has been issued to the ailing telco by the department of teleocm (DoT) to facilitate bank credit which would help it to avail working capitalThe financially-stressed operator has, for the first time, delayed salaries -- for February -- to its over 1.70 lakh workforce, except those in Kerala and J&K circles. BSNL said it would be able to pay to its staff on Friday taking out Rs 850 crore from a total of Rs 2,700 crore internal accrual as of March. “The VRS and asset monetisation are the two key strategies to turn the corner,” the top executive said, adding that it has already started working on a few initiatives aimed at controlling expenses, and has frozen on various services availed by employees, including Leave Travel Concession (LTC) and medical facilities. In 2000, a large number of government workforce were shifted to the then newly-formed corporate entity BSNL with employees entitled to government pension scheme and other benefits that has only added to its woes over time.Even as the telco awaits assistance from the Centre, its tactical approach, including affordable tariff and customer service initiatives has led it to increase its subscriber base on month-on-month basis, despite heightened market rivalry. But it has also led to its revenue taking a beating and losses rising.BSNL though has the industry-lowest debt of Rs 13,000 crore as of the 2018 when compared to market leader Vodafone Idea with 1.2 lakh crore and Sunil Mittal-driven Bharti Airtel’s Rs 1.06 lakh crore.The fourth-largest telco is also looking at monetisation of towers by way of infrastructure sharing and renting out training centres, while land assets, according to the top executive could alone fetch over Rs 70,000 crore.BSNL’s revival plans also include airwaves to rollout of 4G services to take on Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea. The telco is also planning to start 4G pilot initiatives across all licensed service areas (LSAs) on the existing 3G spectrum in the 2100 Mhz band. Such readiness may also help the telco to commercially launch the much-awaited high-speed data services within a day after a formal nod from the government. “We have given targets to all circles to identify spots for starting 4G pilots on the 3G spectrum, and we will not require any new equipment for this ambitious rollout,” the official said.The state-run operator is also keenly waiting clearances from the telecom department to kick-start government-aided initiatives for universal mobile connectivity as envisaged in the national policy roadmap -- in Northeast and left wing extremism affected areas -- that could also add to its revenue.
