The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) has reiterated its intent to join the Natural Diamond Council (NDC) by signing a Memorandum of Understanding during the second high-level meeting of the Luanda Accord at the African Mining Indaba 2026 in Cape Town on 9th February 2026.
The MoU, signed between Shaunak Parikh, Vice Chairman, GJEPC and Amber Pepper, CEO, NDC, clears the way for GJEPC to join the NDC from 1st May 2026.
Shaunak Parikh, Vice Chairman, GJEPC, said: “India sits at the heart of the global natural diamond value chain, from cutting and polishing to a fast-growing domestic consumer market. Joining forces with the Natural Diamond Council reflects our belief that the future of natural diamonds depends on collaboration, transparency and a shared commitment to building long-term consumer confidence.”
The move builds on GJEPC’s earlier endorsement of the Luanda Accord, signalling its continued commitment to collective action across the natural diamond value chain.
