Gem & Jewellery BSM 2025 :Fruitful partnerships and meaningful dialogue
GJEPCs Gem & Jewellery Buyer-Seller Meet 2025 commenced with an air of optimism and global camaraderie, setting the stage for fruitful partnerships and meaningful dialogue between Indian manufacturers and international buyers.
The event was inaugurated with a grand unveiling, paving the way for over 40 international buyers to engage in curated one-on-one business meetings with Indian jewellery manufacturers and exporters. The venue buzzed with activity as new connections were forged and long-standing business relationships were rekindled.
Among the notable international buyers. Lisi Fracchia from Spain, visiting India for the first time, expressed her delight at the overwhelming business prospects. Her experience at the BSM not only introduced her to new business avenues but also gave her the opportunity to reconnect with existing suppliers participating in the show.
Cloyette Harris Stoute, representing Alliyette, USA, is also making her maiden visit to India. Her objective of understanding India’s advanced jewellery manufacturing technology and the comprehensive supply chain process was met with great satisfaction. Deeply impressed by her interactions with exhibitors, she shared her enthusiasm about returning in the future.
On the domestic front, Hitesh Thakar, General Manager at Mohit Diamond Pvt. Ltd, reflected on the invaluable insights gained during his meetings. He noted that conversations with buyers revealed their strategic focus on brand expansion, opening up new opportunities for his company to scale their business and adapt to evolving global demand.
Priyank Shah of Walking Tree, participating as a first-time exhibitor, commended the event’s structured format. The carefully filtered buyer group enabled targeted interactions, resulting in serious inquiries from markets such as the USA, Kazakhstan, Brazil, and beyond—particularly for custom-made jewellery.
The first day concluded on a high note, with an atmosphere rich in collaboration and discovery. The meet not only reflected the strength of India’s jewellery sector but also its growing global appeal.

Quarterly Update: Q1 FY2027- Kalyan Jewellers
Q1 FY2027 highlights robust revenue growth, expanding global footprint, and continued investment in festive season readiness.
The recently concluded quarter has been a very satisfying one, recording consolidated revenue growth of approximately 38% when compared to the same period in the previous financial year.
We saw revenue growth in excess of 38% for our India operations during Q1 FY2027 as compared to Q1 FY2026, led by robust operating momentum on the ground with healthy same-store-sales-growth across all the key markets in the country despite the 28-day Adhik Maas period falling fully in the recently concluded quarter. Adhik Maas is a once in a 3-year phenomenon during which wedding-related demand tends to take a pause in certain parts of the country. The recently concluded quarter recorded same-store-sales-growth of approximately 28%.
We launched our ‘Shine with India’ Gold Recirculation Campaign during the second half of May with the larger objective of increasing the share of recycled gold and thereby reducing dependence on imported gold. The initiative has been well received by customers, helping us increase the share of recycled gold as a percentage of revenue to over 46% during Q1 FY2027. For the month of June, the share of recycled gold as a percentage of revenue was in excess of 55%.
Our international operations recorded revenue growth of approximately 35% for the recently concluded quarter when compared to the same period during the previous financial year. Within the Middle East specifically, we witnessed revenue growth of approximately 30% for Q1 FY2027 as compared to Q1 FY2026, driven predominantly by same-store-sales-growth despite the impact on footfall during April due to the geopolitical tensions in the region.
International markets contributed approximately 14% to our consolidated revenue for the recently concluded quarter.
Our digital-first jewellery platform, Candere, recorded a revenue growth of approximately 112% during the recently concluded quarter as compared to the same period during the last year.
During the recently concluded quarter, we launched 12 Kalyan showrooms and 5 Candere showrooms in India.
The ongoing quarter has started off well and we are upbeat about the new showroom launches, gearing up with fresh collections and campaigns for the upcoming festive and wedding season across the country.
As of June 30, 2026, our total number of showrooms across India and international markets stood at 524:
- Kalyan India – 354
- Kalyan Middle East – 38
- Kalyan USA – 2
- Kalyan UK – 1
- Candere – 129
The metrics and other details provided above are subject to the Limited Review process by our Statutory Auditors. Post approval of the results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 by the Board of Directors, a detailed information update will follow.
