The Gem Testing Laboratory (GTL) at Jaipur achieved a 40% growth in its performance in the first six months of FY 2013-14, (April-September 2014) as compared to a 15%  growth achieved in the same period last year.

GTL, an initiative of The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council, believes that is has been able to achieve this growth due to the constant upgradation of its technology and a quick turnaround time to deliver results.

The equipment at the lab includes the Laser Raman Spectrometer, FTIR Microscope, UV-Vis-NIR Spectrometer, Diamond View, and Cut Scanner for Diamond, amongst others.

GTL also believes that it has earned the trust of its customers by providing testing reports in simple parlance, with adequate disclosures and transparent codes and with a quick turnaround time. GTL delivers reports after a maximum of two working days as against other labs which take up to a minimum of a week or a month to issue results for the same test conducted.

GTL can test 50-55 stones in a span of two days and also has the facility to issue test results on an urgent basis in a span of two hours. The fees charged also compare very favourably vis-a-vis other labs.

 “We are proud of GTL’s impeccable performance and services offered to Indian and International markets alike,” said Vipul Shah, Chairman, GJEPC. “It is indeed due to GTL’s constant endeavour to keep itself abreast of quality and technological norms prevailing in the industry that the laboratory has reached the pinnacle of success.”
