Malabar Gold becomes the first jeweller to import gold under India
Malabar Gold and Diamonds has
become the first jeweller in India to import gold under the Comprehensive
Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between India and the UAE. The
Kozhikode-based jewellery retail business, which is well-known in West Asia and
India and is benefiting from a 1% tariff cut under the bilateral trade
agreement, got things started by bringing in 25 kg of gold through ICICI Bank. As
a result of the import, the jewellery retail chain is now the primary gainer
from the cooperation agreement for both jewellery imports and exports.
The import will support our
"Make in India, Market to the World" objective, which seeks to
increase demand for Indian jewellery across international markets by leveraging
its distinctive craftsmanship, according to MP Ahammed, Chairman of the Malabar
Group. India will become a hub for jewellery sourcing and OEM manufacture by
using imported gold to increase domestic jewellery production capacity and
create jobs.
When the company was given a license
to export jewellery from India to the UAE with tax breaks in May, it became one
of the CEPA's initial beneficiaries. The five percent import duty into the UAE
has been waived under the terms of the agreement by the UAE Government.
The CEPA between India and the
UAE came into effect on May 1, 2022, after Union Commerce and Industry Minister
Piyush Goyal and UAE Minister of Economy Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri signed the
agreement in Delhi in February.
