P N Gadgil Jewellers Limited delivered a healthy performance in Q2FY27, reporting revenue growth of 22.4% YoY, despite the shift in the Navratri festive period to Q3 this year. The Retail segment grew 31.1% YoY, with robust same-store sales growth (SSSG) of 25.5% YoY as the primary driver, indicating that the growth was substantially organic in nature, driven by deeper customer engagement at existing stores. As a result, the Retail segment contributed around 77.3% YoY of the total revenue, which is meaningfully higher on a YoY basis
