JCK Shows announces the debut of JCK New Delhi, set to launch September 28-30, 2006 at Pragati Maidan expo venue in New Delhi, India. JCK New Delhi 2006 is organized by Reed Exhibitions Ltd and Inter Ads Ltd.

Dave Bonaparte, vice president for Reed’s JCK portfolio of shows, said, “India is rapidly becoming a major force in the global jewelry industry, both in terms of [export] production and in demand from India’s domestic market for internationally designed product. JCK New Delhi is being launched in response to huge interest in the Indian market from exhibitors, not only at the JCK Shows, but from all 19 shows in Reed Exhibitions’ global portfolio of international jewelry events.”

“The jewelry industry represents one of India’s great success stories both domestically and internationally in recent years. The arrival of a major international show such as JCK in Delhi represents a massive vote of confidence in the Indian market from the international jewelry community.” said Mr. Rajan Sharma, Managing Director, Inter Ads Ltd. “With the opening up of both the economy and society to ever more international influences, JCK New Delhi 2006 will be a unique opportunity for Indian retailers to see many of the major international suppliers together under one roof.”
