India’s GJ sector to hit t $128 Billion by 2029: 1Lattice Report

India’s gems and jewellery market is poised for robust growth, projected to reach $128 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 9.5%, according to 1Lattice’s latest report, Glimmers of Growth. This surge is driven by rising disposable incomes among the middle class, growing demand for certified and branded jewellery, and increased adoption of digital retail platforms. Gold continues to dominate the market, accounting for 86% of the overall share.

The report noted that government initiatives such as reductions in gold import duties and mandatory hallmarking have boosted consumer confidence and affordability. The rise of online retail, with virtual try-on tools and digital marketing strategies, is reshaping consumer engagement, especially among younger demographics.

Lab-grown diamonds (LGDs) have emerged as a key growth driver within the sector. The Indian LGD market is projected to reach $1.2 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of nearly 15%. Exports of LGDs have grown eightfold since FY21, and India now contributes around 15% of global LGD production, the report states. However, the lack of domestic HPHT machine fabrication presents an opportunity for investment to establish a full-fledged supply chain. LGDs are increasingly favoured for their affordability, ethical sourcing, and environmental benefits, aligning well with global ESG goals.

The report also maps major jewellery manufacturing clusters across India, including Surat, Mumbai, Jaipur, Thrissur, and Coimbatore, each specialising in distinct styles and techniques. Consumer preferences vary by region, age, gender, and spending behaviour, with a notable shift towards minimalistic, personalised, and sustainable jewellery.

Despite its promising outlook, the industry faces several challenges, including volatile gold prices, high labour costs, fragmented inventory systems, and the slow adoption of advanced retail technologies. Nonetheless, India’s position as a global leader in both natural and lab-grown diamond processing, supported by favourable policy frameworks and rising international demand, sets the stage for sustained growth, 1Lattice said.

To capitalise on this momentum, the report suggests that industry players should enhance transparency through certification, invest in technology, and tap into global trade opportunities while promoting jewellery as both a fashion statement and a long-term investment.

PC Jeweller Ltd witnessed a sharp rally in its stock price over the past two trading sessions, surging by 33% to touch ₹18.69 on the BSE. The surge followed an upbeat business update for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 (Q1FY26), where the company reported a standout 80% year-on-year increase in standalone revenue.

In Monday’s session alone, the stock advanced 11.8%, reflecting heightened investor optimism on the back of strong operational performance and a clear path toward financial deleveraging.

The company attributed the robust growth to high customer demand during the wedding and festive season, which continued to drive strong sales across key markets. Notably, this surge in revenue came despite considerable volatility in gold prices—showcasing customer resilience and trust in the PC Jeweller brand.

In its official filing, the company described Q1 as “very promising and fulfilling,” highlighting that sustained goodwill and brand equity have enabled it to clock a “robust performance.”

Beyond top-line growth, PC Jeweller also emphasized its focus on strengthening its financial fundamentals. The company has been steadily reducing its outstanding debt, having cut its obligations to bankers by over 50% during FY24–25. In Q1FY26, it further trimmed its debt by another 7.5%, reinforcing its commitment to achieving a debt-free status by the end of FY26.

“The company continues to revamp and strengthen all aspects of its operations, the results of which are clearly visible in its financial performance,” the management noted in a statement. It added that the company remains optimistic about maintaining strong momentum in the upcoming quarters.

PC Jeweller’s strong quarterly update and visible progress on debt reduction have caught the attention of both retail and institutional investors, marking a potential turnaround story for the jewellery brand that has seen significant headwinds in previous years.

As it continues to streamline operations and strengthen its balance sheet, PC Jeweller is positioning itself to capture further growth opportunities in India’s ever-resilient gold and jewellery market.

The jewellery retailer’s retail revenue grew 24% during the quarter, highlighting increased footfall and consumer interest across its growing showroom network.

Despite a 32% spike in gold prices—ranging between ₹86,900 and ₹1,01,000 per 10 grams—consumer appetite for gold jewellery remained resilient.

During the quarter, Senco launched nine new showrooms, bringing its total store count to 179 nationwide. The company continued to focus on brand-led strategies aimed at lifestyle-focused and festive shoppers through its diverse product lines.

Looking ahead to Q2 FY26, Senco plans to open 11 additional showrooms, aiming to meet its full-year target of 20 new outlets. It also intends to scale up its sub-brands — Sennes, Gossip, and Everlite — through franchise models to deepen its reach in urban and semi-urban markets.
