Franchisee Operations: This segment surged by 37.2% compared to the same quarter in the previous financial year, accounting for 11.7% of total revenue, driven by strong franchisee performance and broader market penetration.
Festive sales remain a key driver of our success. This year, we achieved our highest ever single-day festive sales on Gudi Padwa amounting to ₹ 123.5 crore, with a remarkable 40.4% increase over last year.
A strong SSSG of 26.3% continues to drive sustained growth, reflecting the consistent demand and strong operational performance of our existing stores.

In the recently concluded quarter, we expanded our footprint with the launch of 5 new stores- 4 COCO and 1 FOCO store, bringing our total store count to 53. Notably, we celebrated the opening of our 50th store, a key milestone in our growth journey. Additionally, we completed the renovation of our flagship store on Laxmi Road, Pune, to meet increasing demand and enhance the customer experience. To further strengthen operational efficiency, the company also inaugurated a new operational office in Mumbai.
We anticipate a strong FY 26, fuelled by robust demand starting with Akshaya Tritiya and the continued strength of the wedding season, both of which are expected to drive significant sales in Q1 FY 26. Additionally, strong consumer demand driven by increasing purchasing power and shifting consumer presence will continue to fuel growth.
We aim to maintain this momentum by launching 20-25 new stores in FY26 while expanding our footprint in Uttar Pradesh and other regions. This strategic growth underscores our confidence in the market’s potential and our commitment to strengthening our physical presence.With these new stores, we aim to increase accessibility, deepen brand penetration, and continue delivering unparalleled value while sustaining our growth trajectory.

WGC India Gold Market Update: Import Tightening
Part Of A Broader Push To Conserve Foreign Exchange Reserves Amid Geopolitical Uncertainty and Mounting Pressure On The INR
Highlights
- Gold import duty was raised sharply by 9%– from 6% to 15%, the steepest increase on record – alongside broader regulatory tightening
- Domestic gold prices have not yet fully reflected the duty hike amid weak demand and ample supply; local markets are currently in deep discount from the landed price
- Past trends indicate that higher duty increases unofficial inflows, although official imports remain relatively resilient
- Gold demand is expected to moderate in 2026, with jewellery and bar and coin demand projected to decline by 50–60t (~10% y/y) on account of the import duty hike.
Policy actions on gold imports
Since early April, the government has adopted a series of measures aimed at moderating gold imports. These have been part of a broader push to conserve foreign exchange reserves amid geopolitical uncertainty and mounting pressure on the INR, which has depreciated by more than 7% y-t-d. These measures include price-based actions, administrative and regulatory tightening, and consumer-directed messaging. While noteworthy, they are not unprecedented; gold is among the top five imports for India, accounting for 8% of the country’s merchandise imports in 2025, and similar measures have been utilised in the past.
On the price front, the gold import duty was raised sharply from 6% to 15%, making it the single largest increase on record and fully reversing the duty cut of July 2024. Rules were also tightened for gold imports linked to exports (under the advance authorisation scheme), and the Prime Minister has directly appealed to consumers, urging them to avoid buying gold for a year.
