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.
