RAPAPORT... HRD Antwerp is expanding its presence in India with a new
location at the Santacruz Electronic Export Processing Zone (SEEPZ) in Mumbai, and
another one in the Bharat Diamond Bourse (BDB).
The Belgium-based diamond-certification and training
facility announced plans last week to launch a grading lab in the SEEPZ
jewelry-manufacturing hub, home to a large number of jewelry exporters. SEEPZ
is a designated area in Mumbai where certain tax exemptions are in effect.
“Our customers will have safe, reliable and easy access to
our services,” said Ravi Chhabria, managing director of HRD Antwerp India. “Our
laboratory has the know-how and tools to thoroughly analyze jewelry, and to
provide a general description of the jewel, the quality of diamonds it
contains, and the precious metals of which it is made.”
HRD Antwerp’s new office in the BDB, meanwhile, will offer
jewelers in the bourse quicker service than the current office in the nearby
IL&FS Centre, Chhabria added. In addition to being able to drop off stones
for grading, they will have access to color pre-investigation and screening.
