(IDEX Online) - The International Gemological Institute (IGI) has opened a new facility in Mumbai at the Bharat Diamond Bourse.

 

Located at Tower FW in the exchange, the space will serve as an extension of IGI's existing laboratory services, operating as a fully-fledged sorting and screening facility. Streamlining the evaluation process, trade personnel will also be able to drop their parcels at the fully operational office from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and collect them once the certification process is complete.

 

Bharat Diamond Bourse (BDB) President Anoop Mehta led the inauguration alongside BDB Vice President Mehul Shah; Ashish Mehta, partner, Kantilal Chotalal; Sanjay Kothari, chairman, GJSCI; Rajesh Lakhani, director, Kiran Gems; and Milan Parekh of Mahendra Brothers (pictured above).

 

"We are very pleased to be offering our services at such a key location," said Ramit Kapur, general manager, IGI India. "Our new facility features the latest identification equipment, enabling us to address the trade's queries pertaining to synthetic diamonds, which is a vital need as of late."

 

"The goal of the facility at the bourse is to help diamond producers experience a quicker and more efficient certification process with IGI," said IGI India Managing Director Tehmasp Printer. "With real-time screening, trade professionals can now have their melee parcels checked for contamination of synthetic diamonds, if any."
