Reliance Jewels has recorded a 52% increase in Average Bill Value despite volatile gold prices, driven significantly by its old gold exchange program. Over the past six months, gold prices have surged nearly 30% due to global uncertainties, tariffs, and trade tensions, with the price standing at Rs 1,27,851 per 10g as of October 17.

Apart from jewellery, Reliance Retail Ventures Limited (RRVL) reported Q2 FY26 revenue of Rs 90,018 crore, marking an 18% year-on-year growth. This was fueled by robust festive season sales, with the Grocery and Fashion & Lifestyle segments growing 23% and 22% YoY, respectively.

“We consistently innovate, from curating new collections to creating campaigns that connect with today’s Indian consumer. Our focus remains on building brands that inspire and resonate across India.”
