Higher demand in the Middle-East and South-East Asia could help India's gems and jewellery export grow this fiscal to about USD 42 billion, an export promotion body said today. According to Anil Sankhwal, Gems and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) northern region chairman, Europe poses a challenge to exporters. "But in the US, Middle-East nations and South-East Asia, demand is growing. We are expecting that our exports will reach about USD 41-42 billion this fiscal," Sankhwal told reporters here. About steps to boost export, he said GJEPC is organising a buyer-seller meet in the national capital.
