Senco Gold Shares Rise as Q4 Profit Nearly Doubles to ₹94 Cr; EBITDA Margin Improves to 9.2%
Shares of Senco Gold rose 2.11% to ₹388.85 after the company posted a sharp rise in earnings for the fourth quarter ended March 2025. The company’s net profit nearly doubled — rising 94.1% year-on-year (YoY) to ₹94 crore — driven by strong revenue growth and improved operational performance. Revenue from operations for Q4 stood at ₹1,377.71 crore, up 21.1% compared to Q4 FY24.
Profit before tax (PBT) increased by 62.4% YoY to ₹85.08 crore, while EBITDA rose 44.8% to ₹127.01 crore. The EBITDA margin improved by 150 basis points to 9.2%, reflecting better cost efficiency and higher value sales.
Operating expenses for the quarter grew by 19.2% to ₹1,250.69 crore. The cost of materials consumed increased 21.6% to ₹1,146.46 crore, and employee benefit expenses rose 27.1% to ₹35.65 crore.
For the full fiscal year FY25, Senco reported a 20.7% increase in revenue to ₹6,328.07 crore. However, net profit declined by 12% to ₹159.31 crore due to a one-time impact from a customs duty cut in July 2024. Adjusted PAT for FY25 stood at ₹207.9 crore, a YoY growth of 10.1%.
Suvankar Sen, Managing Director & CEO, highlighted the company’s robust Q4 performance, with same-store sales growth (SSSG) at 18% and a 21% volume growth in diamond jewellery, which translated to a 38% rise in value terms. Company-owned outlets, contributing 64% of retail revenues, posted a 21% growth, while the franchise segment, contributing 36%, grew by 28% YoY.
The company opened five new showrooms in Q4, across COCO, FOCO, and FOFO models. Senco also saw a surge in old gold exchanges, which made up 40% of total sales, with 61% of that coming from new, non-Senco customers.
Senco Gold, a prominent national jewellery retailer, offers a wide range of products including gold, diamond, Polki, Platinum, Kundan, Jadau, silver, and both precious and semi-precious stones.

GJEPC Urges Nation to Take Blood Donation Pledge on Jeweller’s Day to Support Life-Saving Cause
National, 16 September 2025: The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) is calling upon every citizen to take a Blood Donation Pledge on Jeweller’s Day and actively participate in blood donation drives that will follow, in honour of the skilled craftsmen who are the backbone of India’s gem and jewellery industry.
This initiative reflects the industry’s deep commitment to social responsibility and the spirit of giving. By taking the pledge, participants commit to donating blood — a simple yet powerful act that can save countless lives and support India’s healthcare system, where blood shortages are an ongoing challenge.
Once the pledge is taken on 17th September, a nationwide blood donation drive will be organised across key hubs such as Mumbai, Surat, Jaipur, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, and more, in collaboration with leading hospitals and blood banks. Through this effort, GJEPC aims to mobilise thousands of donors from the trade and the public, making it one of the most impactful initiatives in the industry’s history.
Kirit Bhansali, Chairman, GJEPC, appealing to jewellers and karigars, said:
“17th September also marks the Vishwakarma Jayanti, and commemorates the 75th birthday of our Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi. On this significant day, I appeal to all the citizens and jewellery community across the country to come forward, take the pledge, and donate blood for this noble cause. Together, let us honour our tradition of craftsmanship with an act of compassion that has the power to save countless lives.”
To participate, individuals must first register by clicking on the pledge link. Once registered, they can formally take the pledge anytime between 7:00 AM on 17th September and 7:00 AM on 18th September 2025 by entering their mobile number on the same link. This ensures every participant’s commitment is recorded and counted towards the nationwide movement. Individuals can also register and take the pledge on 17th September on the same link.
The Council’s aim is to unite thousands of people from the trade and the public in this noble cause, creating one of the largest collective pledges and blood donation initiatives ever. This symbolic yet impactful action will strengthen the legacy of Jeweller’s Day as not only a celebration of artisanship but also of compassion and humanity.
