IIBX to Open Bullion Vault in Kolkata by Diwali for Local Delivery
The India International Bullion Exchange (IIBX) plans to open a bullion vault in Kolkata by Diwali, enabling West Bengal jewellers to take local delivery instead of sourcing bullion from Chennai or GIFT City. This development aims to reduce logistics costs and delivery times, benefiting nearly 50 qualified jewellers and TRQ holders in the region. For the first time, eligible Indian resident jewellers can import bullion directly through IIBX under applicable regulations, potentially enhancing access to exchange-traded bullion in eastern India.
