Kalyan Jewellers reported a strong performance for Q2 FY2027, recording consolidated revenue growth in excess of 26% compared to the same period in the previous financial year.

India Operations & Brand Expansion

Revenue & Sales Growth: Revenue for India operations grew by approximately 27% year-over-year in Q2 FY2027. This was driven by robust ground momentum and a same-store-sales-growth (SSSG) of approximately 20%, despite a high base from the previous year when all nine days of Navratri fell within Q2.
Regional Launch: In August, the company launched its first regional brand, Akshaya Thanga Maligai (ATM), in Chennai. Following strong initial reception and revenue traction in its first 40+ days, plans are set to launch four additional franchised showrooms under this brand during FY2027—two in Q3 and two in Q4.
Showroom Expansion: During the quarter, the company opened 12 Kalyan showrooms in India (net addition of 11), 9 Candere showrooms in India, and 1 Kalyan showroom in the UK.

International Performance & Lifestyle Segment

International Operations: Recorded an 18% revenue growth compared to Q2 FY2026, with the Middle East delivering approximately 12% revenue growth driven entirely by SSSG. International markets accounted for roughly 11% of consolidated revenue during the quarter.
Candere: The lifestyle jewellery brand posted strong revenue growth of approximately 64% year-over-year.

Asset Divestment & Debt Reduction

The company completed the sale of one non-core real estate asset for approximately INR 86 crore, with the sale of a second parcel (valued at ~INR 16 crore) expected to close in the ongoing quarter.
Non-GML debt was brought down to zero during the quarter.

Network Presence & Outlook

As of September 30, 2026, the company’s global showroom network expanded to 546 locations, comprising 365 Kalyan India, 38 Kalyan Middle East, 2 Kalyan USA, 2 Kalyan UK, and 138 Candere stores.
Management expressed optimism for the upcoming festive and wedding season, supported by new collections, marketing campaigns, and planned showroom rollouts.
