Here are some of the key government initiatives and regulatory framework that are supporting the growth of gems and jewellery sector in India:
1. The government has permitted 100% FDI under the automatic route in the sector. This is attracting foreign investments and supporting the growth of the industry.
2. The Gold Monetisation Scheme enables individuals, trusts and mutual funds to deposit gold with banks and earn interest on the same in return. This is helping reduce the demand for gold imports.
3. The government has proposed setting up jewellery parks across the country to promote organised retail, latest technologies and skill development. A jewellery park has been proposed in Navi Mumbai.
4. Initiatives such as
India’s gems and jewellery sector contributes about 7 per cent to India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and 16
per cent to India’s total merchandise exports. The sector employs over 4.64 million employees and is expected
to employ 8.23 million by 2022.
Introduction
The Gems and Jewellery sector plays a significant role in the Indian economy, contributing around 6-7 per cent of the country’s GDP. One of the fastest growing sectors, it is extremely export oriented and labour intensive.
Retail sales of precious jewellery increased 2.8 percent to reach 2,535 billion rupees (US$41.57 billion) in 2014. Domestic changes in the way gold jewellery is traded helped make 2014 a record year for jewellery sales.
Retail sales of gold jewellery increased 1.4 percent to reach 1,995 billion rupees (US$32.71 billion) in 2014. Consumption of gold jewellery increased 7.9 percent to reach 660.8 tonnes in 2014 according to Equity Communications' preliminary assessment of retailer sales and this was offset by a 6.4 percent reduction in the rupee gold price.
Retail sales of diamond jewellery increased 8.2% to reach 517 billion rupees (US$8.49 billion) in 2014. In general, demand for diamond jewellery is stronger and more competitive at steady gold prices because consumers will be less concerned about potentially losing out on positive gold price movements. Consumer demand for diamonds is more discretionary.
Retail sales of platinum jewellery increased 16.8 percent in 2014 to reach 17.84 billion rupees. Volume take-up increased 23 percent to reach 172,000 ounces in 2014, boosted by successful marketing of men's platinum jewellery.
Key Sales Driver: The story of gold jewellery sales in 2014
80:20 gold rule introduced in third quarter of 2013 scrapped in fourth quarter of 2015 - results in lower domestic premiums on gold
Rupee gold price down 6.4 percent in 2014 - results in cheaper gold for consumers
Companies Act rewrite forces retailers to restructure gold buying schemes - results in a flood of redemptions before March 31, 2015
The gold rush of the second quarter of 2013 was always going to be a hard act to follow. Nevertheless, sales in 2014 were actually helped by the forced review of retailer gold buying schemes because of new Companies Act rules. This factor was the biggest contributor to record sales of jewellery in 2014.
Consequently, jewellery retailers are winding down standing instalment schemes with the view of reintroducing them in compliance with new laws. Such schemes let consumers spread out purchases of jewellery pieces they normally would not afford. Instalment schemes are estimated to make up to 25 percent of annual gold jewellery sales.
Forced early redemption of instalment schemes meant that gold jewellery sales in the third quarter of 2014 were similar to sales in the impressive second quarter of 2013. A weakening of the rupee gold price during August and September also supported redemption efforts.
2015 Outlook
Fundamentally, there is strong investment incentive in consumption of jewellery in India. Gold continues to be a dependable hedge against inflation and trusted store of value. Therefore, for as long as the pricing fundamentals and economic backdrop are gold positive, consumers will first consider gold above any other jewellery option.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.
