IIJS Premiere, the India International Jewellery Show, holds its 42nd edition in August 2026 across the Jio World Convention Centre in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) and the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai. Organised by the GJEPC, it is India's largest jewellery trade show and one of the biggest in the world, filling multiple venues with gold, diamond, gemstone and finished-jewellery exhibitors. The show draws tens of thousands of retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers and international buyers over several days, making it a fixture of the global jewellery calendar. Because the event spans two venues in a city where quality hotel supply is already tight and expensive, rooms near BKC and along the western suburbs are booked out well in advance, and prices climb sharply during show week. Event Escapes shows live, bookable rates sorted by real distance from the venues, so you can find hotels genuinely close to Jio World or the Bombay Exhibition Centre rather than committing to a long cross-city commute.

Getting there
From Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM)
- BOM is the nearest airport and close to both BKC and the western-suburb venues, often 20–45 minutes by road depending on traffic.
- Prepaid taxis, app-based rideshare (Ola/Uber) and hotel cars are the standard options.
- Terminal 2 (international) and Terminal 1 (domestic) are separate — confirm which you arrive at when arranging pickup.
Getting around during IIJS Premiere (India International Jewellery Show)
Getting around Mumbai and to the venues
- App-based rideshare and metered taxis are the easiest way to move between hotel, BKC and the Bombay Exhibition Centre.
- Mumbai's metro and suburban rail help avoid road congestion, but the final stretch usually needs an auto or cab.
- Note the show uses two venues — confirm which one your appointments are at and allow travel time between them.
Visa & entry
Entry guidance for India
- Most foreign visitors need a visa; India offers an e-Visa (including business categories) to many nationalities applied for online in advance.
- Apply early and choose the visa category that matches your travel purpose.
- Ensure your passport has at least six months' validity and blank pages on arrival.
Entry and e-Visa rules change and vary by nationality; always verify with the official Indian government visa portal or nearest mission before booking.
First time at IIJS Premiere (India International Jewellery Show)?
- Book early — Mumbai hotel supply is tight and IIJS week pushes rates and occupancy sharply higher.
- Confirm whether your meetings are at Jio World Convention Centre (BKC) or the Bombay Exhibition Centre, and stay accordingly.
- August is monsoon season in Mumbai; carry rain protection and add buffer time for waterlogged traffic.
- Keep a local SIM/eSIM and small cash for autos, and expect airport security to be strict given high-value goods on site.
Insider tips from repeat attendees
- Staying in or near BKC minimises daily commute time and keeps you central to the diamond and finished-jewellery trade.
- Travel between the two venues in off-peak windows — midday and late evening traffic across the western suburbs is brutal.
- BKC and the western suburbs have strong options for business dinners; book ahead as the district fills during show week.
- Use hotel-arranged cars rather than street cabs when carrying samples, and prioritise opening days for key buyer meetings.
IIJS Premiere (India International Jewellery Show) travel FAQs
Where should I stay for IIJS Premiere?
Hotels in or near Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) put you close to the Jio World venue and central to the western suburbs; consider proximity to the Bombay Exhibition Centre too if your appointments are there.
How early should I book a hotel?
As early as possible. Mumbai's quality hotel stock is limited and IIJS week drives occupancy and rates up steeply, so free-cancellation rooms booked well ahead are the safe play.
What is the nearest airport?
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) is the nearest and close to both venues, typically 20–45 minutes by road depending on traffic.
How do I get to the venues?
App-based rideshare or metered taxis are easiest between your hotel, BKC and the Bombay Exhibition Centre. Confirm which venue your meetings are at and allow time to travel between the two.

Most visitors do. India offers an online e-Visa including business categories to many nationalities — apply ahead and confirm your specific requirement with the official portal before booking.
