Mumbai, Jan 28 (PTI) The Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) on Friday said the IIJS Signature 2022 has been rescheduled to be held during February 18-21 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre Goregaon, NESCO.

The show was initially scheduled for the first week of January 2022 but the Council decided to postpone it due to a surge in COVID-19 cases at that point of time, the GJEPC said in a statement.
