DC Jewellers Launches Indore Showroom with Traditional Ceremony

Published

on

DC Jewellers has opened a new 5,000 sq. ft showroom at Y N Road, Indore, marking its first outlet outside of Ratlam. The store launch stood out in the jewellery industry for its cultural and spiritual theme, diverging from the typical celebrity-filled inaugurations.

The two-storey retail space is designed to offer a premium shopping experience while staying rooted in the brand’s heritage.

“We wanted this launch event to be different,” said Vikas Kataria, Director of DC Jewellers. “Instead of the typical celebrity appearances, we focused on something deeply rooted in tradition and culture.”

The opening ceremony featured students from Ujjain, known for their expertise in Hindu Ved Shastras, who led the event with Vedic mantras. A group of 21 young pandits performed chanting for 30 minutes, followed by the Navkar Mantra. The spiritual proceedings were accompanied by a 20-minute performance of Mahakal beats, adding a cultural dimension tied to the ancient temple city of Ujjain.

This traditional format was a deliberate choice by the brand, aiming to reflect its values of authenticity and heritage. DC Jewellers positioned the launch not just as a commercial milestone but as a cultural statement.

As part of its Indore launch strategy, the company undertook several outreach campaigns. These included the ‘Indore ke Gehne’ initiative to honor sanitation workers and their contribution to Indore’s cleanliness record, and the ‘DC Jewellers Traffic Awareness Programme’, which aimed to encourage road safety among residents.

The launch marks a significant expansion step for DC Jewellers, reinforcing its identity not just as a retailer but as a custodian of tradition and craftsmanship.

Hindustan Zinc Limited (HZL) today announced its operational and financial results for the second quarter of FY27, demonstrating strong resilience as operational volume gains fully offset global commodity price headwinds. Driven by a major surge in silver output, the company reported a record consolidated net profit of Rs 6,412 crore for Q2.

Despite average LBMA silver prices falling 14% quarter-on-quarter to $62.6 per ounce (down from $73.2 in Q1), Hindustan Zinc’s silver revenue expanded 7% sequentially to Rs 4,111 crore, up from Rs 3,839 crore in the preceding quarter.

​Key Performance Highlights for Q2 FY27:

Silver Revenue Growth: Increased 7% sequentially to Rs 4,111 crore, accounting for 27% of total revenue and 43% (Rs 3,609 crore) of total segment profits.

Volume Expansion: Silver sales volume jumped 16% quarter-on-quarter (and 17% YoY) to 173 tonnes, powered by a 20% YoY increase in silver production.

Record Financials: Consolidated revenue from operations surged 77% YoY to Rs 15,093 crore. EBITDA reached an all-time high of Rs 9,285 crore (up 108% YoY), expanding operating margins to 62%.

Operational Capabilities: Record mined metal production of 271 kilo tonnes (up 5% YoY) alongside refined lead output reaching 51 kilo tonnes (up 9% QoQ), directly boosting silver recovery from smelting debottlenecking.

Overall Profitability: Net profit rose 142% YoY and 17.2% sequentially to a record ₹6,412 crore.

Silver continues to act as a primary growth anchor for Hindustan Zinc, contributing approximately 45% of total company profitability over the first half of FY27. The company’s integrated metal production and increased smelter capacity successfully shielded overall performance from short-term commodity price dips, sustaining strong shareholder value.
