Gold price surges past Rs 1 Lakh/ 10 gm
In a landmark moment for the Indian bullion market, gold prices have surged past the Rs 1 lakh mark per 10 grams, reinforcing the precious metal’s status as a safe-haven investment during times of economic uncertainty. On Friday, Mumbai’s renowned Zaveri Bazaar witnessed an unprecedented rise in the price of 24-carat gold, which now stands at Rs 1,01,000 per 10 grams—marking the highest ever recorded in India’s history.
This significant increase is largely attributed to a confluence of international and domestic factors. Market experts suggest that rising global gold prices, coupled with expectations of potential interest rate cuts in the United States and Europe, have played a pivotal role in boosting demand. Additionally, a weakening US dollar and ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East, have further cemented gold’s appeal among investors seeking stability in volatile times.
While this surge may be welcomed by investors, it poses a financial challenge for everyday consumers, especially during the current wedding season. As gold becomes increasingly expensive, middle-class buyers may find it harder to afford new jewellery. In fact, several gold traders have reported a noticeable dip in demand for newly crafted ornaments, with many customers choosing instead to liquidate existing gold assets to take advantage of the high prices.
Looking ahead, the trajectory of gold prices remains uncertain. If global instability continues and investor demand holds strong, experts believe that prices could climb even higher. On the other hand, some analysts foresee a potential cooling-off period, citing the likelihood of profit booking by investors who may now choose to capitalize on the recent surge.
In conclusion, the current rally in gold prices underscores the metal’s enduring significance in global and domestic markets. Whether this trend will persist or see a temporary pullback remains to be seen, but for now, gold continues to shine brightly as both an investment and a symbol of security.

PNGS Reva Diamond Jewellery Limited Posts Record Q4 FY26, Nearly Doubles Core Diamond Business Year-on-Year
Revenue surges 139% YoY in Q4 FY26, Driven By Strong Diamond Demand, Festive Traction, and Continued Retail Expansion
PNGS Reva Diamond Jewellery Limited, a branded certified natural diamond jewellery retailer backed by the 190+ year legacy of the P. N. Gadgil & Sons Group, reported robust revenue growth for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, reflecting strong consumer demand and continued retail expansion momentum.
Revenue from Operations for Q4 FY26 stood at Rs. 1,382.14 million, registering a 139.07% year-on-year increase compared to Rs. 578.14 million in Q4 FY25. Excluding gold sales, revenue grew 96.90% YoY, highlighting strong growth in the Company’s core diamond jewellery segment. (Figures are subject to limited review by Statutory Auditors.)
The quarter’s revenue included Rs. 243.81 million from gold sales, arising from the disposal of excess gold received as part consideration for diamond jewellery purchases.
Operationally, performance was supported by strong festive and occasion-led demand. Gudhi Padwa sales rose to approximately Rs. 70 million, up from Rs. 20 million last year (2.5x growth), while Valentine’s Day also contributed meaningfully to quarterly performance.
Retail expansion remained a key growth driver. In March 2026, the company added 1 COCO (Company-Owned Company-Operated) store and 1 Shop-in-Shop (SIS) outlet, taking the total store count to 36 (2 COCO + 34 SIS stores) as against 33 SIS stores a year ago. The shift toward a COCO-led format aims to enhance operating leverage and support long-term scalability.
Commenting on the performance, Amit Modak said:
“Our Q4 performance reflects a structural shift towards branded and certified natural diamond jewellery. Encouragingly, we are seeing deeper customer engagement and repeat purchases. As we expand our COCO footprint, our focus remains on building a scalable retail platform with strong inventory discipline and a consistent brand experience.”
Looking ahead, the company plans to roll out ~15 COCO stores over the next 24 months, supported by IPO proceeds allocated towards store capex, inventory, and brand-building initiatives. One store has already been launched in March 2026.
In parallel, PNGS Reva will continue leveraging SIS placements within promoter group stores, enabling capital-efficient expansion alongside exclusive outlets.
With a disciplined expansion strategy across Maharashtra and high-growth pan-India markets, and backed by the strong heritage and credibility of PNGS, the company is well-positioned to sustain growth momentum in the organised diamond jewellery segment.
