    What's the story

    Maharashtra government is reportedly planning to set up India's first gems and jewelry park in Navi Mumbai.

    As per reports, the government has already signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Gems and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) on Monday at the ongoing Magnetic Maharashtra Summit.

    The park will be of 25-acres and will be built at a cost of Rs. 13,500 crore.

    Jewelry hub

    It will be like another Zaveri Bazaar under one roof

    Through the park, the government will try to bring all the glitz and gold of Mumbai's biggest jewelry market Zaveri Bazaar under one roof.

    Former GJEPC chairman Praveenshankar Pandya said, "This will be India's first gems and jewelry park, which will be developed on the lines of the Shenzhen model in China. This will bring order to the highly scattered sector and boost exports."
