DJGF Signature 2026 to Power North India Jewellery Trade at Bharat Mandapam

DJGF Signature 2026, the second edition of "Delhi Ka Signature Show," is underway at Hall 1, Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, bringing a concentrated early-season B2B marketplace to New Delhi from February 28 to March 2. Organiser Informa Markets in India has positioned the three-day event as a sourcing platform timed for Akshaya Tritiya, weddings and the first-half buying cycle.

Organiser materials and coverage quote participation at scale: APN lists 120+ exhibitors representing more than 400 leading jewellery brands and expects over 7,000 trade visitors, including 400+ VIP and curated hosted buyers. Coverage of the exhibition footprint varies - APN reports "spanning over 70,000 square feet of exhibition space," while another report cites "1 lakh+ sq. ft. of dedicated exhibition space" - a difference that sits alongside the show's market-facing claims.

Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, Informa Markets in India, framed the event as a strategic trade enabler: "With the domestic jewellery market projected to expand to USD 130 billion by 2030, the sector is entering a phase of structured growth driven by festive demand, bridal purchasing, and increasing formalisation. As design innovation, supply agility, and trend forecasting become critical differentiators, DJGF Signature 2026 is strategically positioned to empower the trade with early-season insights, high-quality sourcing, largest display of light weight jewellery as per market demands, and curated business matchmaking — enabling jewellers to capitalise on emerging opportunities across segments."

Programming foregrounds business matchmaking and industry thinking. The show features exclusive product showcases, signature launches, dedicated product zones across Gold Jewellery, Diamond Jewellery, Polki & Jadau, Silver Jewellery, Gemstones, Fine Jewellery, Casting Jewellery, Contemporary Designs and Jewellery Technology & Packaging Solutions, and a knowledge framework of 10+ conference sessions, live podcast interactions and trend presentations. Organisers label the theme "Celebrating Craftsmanship and Innovation" and promote curated B2B matchmaking sessions and structured hosted buyer meetings to facilitate high-value commercial conversations.

Exhibitors on the floor combine legacy manufacturing hubs and specialty sellers.

Industry voices at the show underline a shifting market environment. Avinash Gupta, Vice Chairman, All India Gem and Jewellery Domestic Council, said, "the participation from exhibitors and buyers reflects not just strong business sentiment, but also the growing maturity of our gem and jewellery ecosystem." Gupta also noted, "Today, the jewellery industry operates in a new normal: gold premiums hovering around 3 per cent and silver nearly 5 per cent have become standard, while tighter inventory cycles and frequent B2B exhibitions every 8–15 days allow us to manage procurement with lower risk and greater efficiency." Ram Avtar Verma, President, The Bullion and Jewellers Association Delhi, commented, "The sheer scale, participation, and energy at this edition are remarkable."

The show's mix of traditional segments and lab-grown diamond representation (JEWEL FOREVER, Surat, booth F32) makes provenance and certification practical concerns for buyers on-site. With categories spanning Gemstones and Fine Jewellery as well, verify exhibitors' certifications and chain-of-custody claims before placing orders rather than relying on promotional positioning. As DJGF Signature 2026 completes its final day on March 2 at Hall 1, Bharat Mandapam, its curated hosted-buyer meetings and 10+ conference sessions aim to translate product discovery into buying plans for Akshaya Tritiya, weddings and the wider 2026 first-half season.
