The Delhi Jewellery & Gem Fair (DJGF) 2025, fondly known as the “Apna Dilliwala Show” by industry professionals, is set to take place at Bharat Mandapam, organized by Informa Markets in India. Bringing together over 600 exhibitors, 1,200+ brands, and an expected 25,000+ trade visitors, the exhibition will showcase the theme “Celebrating Craftsmanship and Innovation”. The event will feature industry-focused seminars on sustainability and innovation, glittering festive collections, and recognition of women achievers and excellence in the jewellery sector.
