Festive Sales

Festive sales remain a key driver of our success. This year, we achieved our highest ever single-day festive sales on Akshaya Tritiya amounting to ₹ 1,395.3 million, with a remarkable 35.1% increase over last year. 

Stud Ratio and same store sales growth

The share of studded jewellery increased by 41.6% YoY in Q1 FY26, taking the stud ratio to 10% of the retail sales. This uptick highlights the growing popularity of stud-based Jewellery, aligning with evolving consumer preferences. The Same Store Sales Growth for the quarter ended Q1 FY26 stood at 8%, primarily impacted by the absence of the Gudi Padwa festival during the quarter. The festival, which was part of Q1 in FY25 last year, was preponed in Q4 FY25 this year, thereby affecting Like-for-like comparability.

Q1 FY26 Operational Highlights

In the recently concluded quarter, we expanded our footprint with the launch of our dedicated sub-brand Litestyle, aimed at meeting the growing demand for stylish and lightweight jewellery. Additionally, we launched two new showrooms during the quarter – one COCO and one FOCO, taking our total store count to 55.

Outlook for FY26

On the expansion front, we remain focused on accelerating our store rollout plan, with 7 to 9 new launches – a mix of company-owned (COCO) and franchise outlets (FOCO) – scheduled for Q2 FY26, this forms a significant part of our broader target of opening 20-25 new stores during the fiscal year.

Key growth markets such as Maharashtra, where we continue to maintain a leadership position, and other regions such as Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh which presents strong growth potential, will remain central to our expansion strategy. Our focus on these regions aligns with our goal to deepen market presence and drive incremental demand through enhanced accessibility.
