Commenting on the performance, Dr. Saurabh Gadgil, Chairman & Managing Director, P N Gadgil Jewellers Limited, said, “The quarter witnessed strong momentum, supported by healthy Festive and wedding-led demand. Revenue from operations increased 35.6% YoY to Rs. 33,026 Mn in Q3 FY26, despite gold price volatility. Demand remained broad-based across core markets, led by gold jewellery, new designs and an increasing preference for lightweight and studded jewellery, supported by strong brand recall and customer trust. Profitability improved significantly during the quarter, with PAT rising 98.6% YoY to Rs.1,709 Mn, supported by a favorable product mix, higher contribution from Studded jewellery, along with disciplined cost management, resulted in meaningful margin expansion. Retail continued to be the primary growth driver, complemented by strong growth in e-commerce and steady performance in the franchise segment. The Company continued to execute its expansion strategy with the addition of three new company-owned stores this quarter at Moshi (Pimpri-Chinchwad), Patna (Bihar), and Viman Nagar under the LiteStyle format, taking the Company’s total retail footprint to 66 stores as of December 2025. Going ahead, management remains focused on driving same-store sales growth, maintaining healthy inventory turns, and sustaining profitable growth, supported by continued upcoming festive & wedding led demand.”
