Kalyan Jewellers India declares board meeting date to declare Q1 results 2025. Details here
In an exchange filing on July 10, Kalyan Jewellers India Ltd informed investors that its Board of Directors will meet on Thursday, August 7, 2025, to review and approve the standalone and consolidated financial results for Q1FY26. The filing, made in compliance with Regulation 29(1) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, also noted that other business matters may be considered at the meeting.
In a preliminary update shared earlier, Kalyan Jewellers reported a 31 percent year-on-year growth in consolidated revenue for the June 2025 quarter. The company stated that despite challenges such as gold price volatility and global geopolitical tensions, the quarter had been 'very fulfilling.'
Its India operations saw a revenue growth of 31 percent in Q1FY26 compared to the year-ago period, driven by robust demand during Akshaya Tritiya and the wedding season. The company also posted an 18 percent increase in same-store sales in India.
Internationally, Kalyan Jewellers reported a 31 percent rise in revenue, with its Middle East business contributing a 26 percent growth, mainly fueled by same-store performance. International operations accounted for 15 percent of the company's total consolidated revenue for the quarter.
The digital-first jewellery platform Candere also saw an impressive 67 percent year-on-year revenue growth during the quarter. The company opened 10 new Kalyan showrooms in India, one in the US, and eight new Candere showrooms during Q1FY26. With these additions, the total showroom count stood at 406 across India and the Middle East as of June 30, 2025.
Looking ahead, Kalyan Jewellers has ambitious expansion plans. The company aims to launch 170 new showrooms during FY26—comprising 75 Kalyan showrooms in non-south India, 15 in south India and overseas markets, and 80 Candere showrooms across India. All Kalyan showrooms are planned under the FOCO (Franchisee Owned Company Operated) model, highlighting the company's capital-efficient expansion strategy.
In Q4FY25, the company reported a 36.5 percent year-on-year increase in net profit to ₹ 187.6 crore. Revenue also grew 36.6 percent year-on-year to ₹ 6,181.5 crore. EBITDA rose 34.8 percent to ₹ 399 crore, although EBITDA margin fell slightly by 10 basis points to 6.5 percent. The strong March quarter performance set the tone for a robust beginning to FY26.
Commenting on the quarter, Executive Director Ramesh Kalyanaraman said, 'We had an excellent start to the current financial year despite continuing volatility in gold prices. We witnessed robust growth during Akshaya Tritiya and continue to see encouraging consumer demand, especially for wedding jewellery.'
The company has also proposed a final dividend of ₹ 1.50 per equity share for FY25, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.
Kalyan Jewellers' stock has gained over 16 percent in the past year. In July 2025 so far, the stock is up around 5 percent, rebounding from a marginal 1 percent decline in June. It saw positive momentum earlier this year with gains of 8.5 percent in May, 10.5 percent in April, and 1 percent in March. However, it had declined 8 percent in February and suffered a steep fall of 34 percent in January.

Energy efficiency push: Electronic appliances to soon carry detailed labels for transparency; what it means for you
Consumers will soon be able to verify star rating claims on electronic appliances such as air-conditioners, refrigerators, televisions, and washing machines, as they will carry detailed energy efficiency labels aimed to help people make informed choices. According to people familiar with the development,the updated labels are a part of the upcoming 'Bureau of Energy Efficiency (Appliance Labelling) Regulations, 2025.' The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) under the Ministry of Power said in a notification dated 10 July, that the new labels will offer greater transparency, specifying the product's country of origin, power consumption in easy-to-understand language, a unique serial number and a QR code for traceability. Industry executives cited by ET said that current energy efficiency labels do not provide enough information and are not consumer-friendly. There have also been instances where companies were found making false claims about energy performance. The new labelling system aims to encourage consumers to pick low power-consuming models and curb misleading claims, they added. Apart from common household appliances, manufacturers will also be required to affix these new labels on deep freezers, chillers, ceiling fans, geysers, solar photovoltaic modules, and certain commercial products. The regulations will lay out the process for applying for and obtaining label authorisation, as well as compliance testing and applicable label fees, the BEE said. The rules also mandate that the new labels be prominently displayed on the product itself and at retail stores. BEE has already proposed scrapping older label design rules for certain white goods like air-conditioners, refrigerators and televisions. 'There is a revision going on regarding label design. There are altogether five notifications on that,' a government official was quoted as saying. Under BEE's existing star-rating system, appliances are rated from one star (least efficient) to five stars (most efficient). These ratings are revised every two to four years to reflect updated energy efficiency benchmarks. As per the new norms, each label must display a unique label number, equipment name, brand name, model number, energy performance parameter, label year, rated capacity, star level, validity, country of origin, and the appliance's serial number. A QR code will also be included for digital verification. ET had earlier reported that the power ministry is working on a plan to incentivise consumers to replace air-conditioners that are 10 years or older with new five-star models, offering them scrapping benefits and discounted prices to support the energy efficiency push.

Star rating, QR code, origin: Labels on ACs, TVs, fridges to get a revamp
In a major step to help consumers pick genuine and energy-efficient products, new labelling norms are being introduced for appliances such as ACs, refrigerators, washing machines, TVs, ceiling fans, geysers, and solar PV modules, according to a report by The Economic Times. The labels will soon carry more detailed and user-friendly information, including the product's energy consumption, brand details, country of origin, star rating, and a QR code for traceability. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), under the Ministry of Power, issued a notification on July 10 for the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (Appliance Labelling) Regulations, 2025. These rules will replace older labelling guidelines for white goods and will also cover several commercial products. New programme to replace old ACs with energy-efficient alternatives The Ministry of Power, in coordination with the BEE, is developing a new initiative aimed at helping households replace air conditioners (ACs) older than a decade with newer, more energy-efficient alternatives. The proposed programme will likely include financial incentives to encourage the switch to five-star rated ACs, which consume much less electricity. India has seen a sharp rise in AC sales, jumping from 8.4 million units in 2021–22 to nearly 11 million in 2023–24. This reflects growing demand for cooling, especially as temperatures continue to rise. According to government estimates, buildings in India used nearly 500 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity last year, with cooling accounting for around 25 per cent of this. Most ACs over 10 years old are rated below three stars, making them significantly less efficient than current models. BEE states that replacing these with five-star rated units could help households save up to ₹6,300 annually in electricity costs while easing stress on the power grid during peak summer. Mandatory temperature limits proposed to improve energy use India is also considering setting a national temperature range for all air conditioners — including those in buildings and vehicles — to between 20 degrees Celsius and 28 degrees Celsius. This would be the first time such limits are made mandatory. The idea is to reduce power demand spikes, lower electricity bills, and improve energy use efficiency. While some ACs currently allow settings as low as 16 degrees Celsius or as high as 30 degrees Celsius, the new rule would cap those extremes. According to a 2020 BEE directive, all star-labelled ACs — whether for rooms or vehicles — must have a default setting of 24 degrees Celsius. Commercial buildings are allowed to adjust this range slightly, between 24 degrees Celsius and 25 degrees Celsius, to balance comfort and power savings.

Growth of small-town gold buyers spurs sales hopes of jewellery retailers; PN Gadgil, Senco target $1 billion revenue
MUMBAI/BENGALURU : Consumers in India's smaller towns are increasingly buying jewellery from organised retailers, drawn by brand trust, better designs, and transparent pricing. This has brightened prospects for PN Gadgil Jewellers Ltd and Senco Gold Ltd, which are targeting 20% revenue growth to $1 billion. The shift in shopping preferences has also prompted many unorganised jewellers to become franchisees of organised chains that offer a readymade platform for growth. 'Franchisees see value in aligning with an established brand as it offers instant credibility and access to a scalable business model," said Bhavya Gandhi, an equity research analyst at Dalal and Broacha. 'With rising per capita incomes in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, consumers are no longer just buying gold – they're choosing branded jewellery for its perceived quality, reliability and aspirational appeal." The positive outlook for jewellery retailers is driven by gold exchange schemes, rising gold prices, store expansion and new product lines. PN Gadgil Jewellers, the third-largest jewellery retailer, posted revenue of ₹7,630.5 crore in FY25. The company is targeting younger buyers through its new lightweight jewellery line. Saurabh Gadgil, chairman of PN Gadgil, said in the company's June quarter update that jewellery is increasingly becoming a form of everyday self-expression rather than just a traditional purchase. Senco Gold, the fourth-largest jewellery retailer, ended FY25 with ₹6,263 crore in revenue and expects to cross the $1 billion ( ₹8,597 crore) mark in FY27. 'Senco expects to grow its topline by 19-20% every year," said Sanjay Banka, the company's chief financial officer. In comparison, Titan Ltd, India's largest gold jeweller, posted ₹47,501 crore in jewellery revenue and is targeting 15-20% annual growth. Kalyan Jewellers, the second-largest company with ₹25,045 crore in jewellery revenue, hasn't provided growth guidance this year. The company reported a 31% jump in revenue in the June quarter. Titan and Kalyan Jewellers did not respond to queries emailed on Tuesday afternoon. Market outlook Jewellery company stocks ended higher even as the benchmark BSE Sensex fell 0.45% to 82,259.24 at the close on Thursday. Senco Gold shares climbed 5% to ₹372.75, while PN Gadgil shares advanced 3.8% to ₹623.70. Kalyan Jewellers added 1.8% to ₹600.20 and Titan Company shares rose 0.45%. Investors are looking forward to the Q1 results of listed jewellery companies including PC Jeweller, Senco Gold, and Kalyan Jewellers. Traditionally, this quarter benefits from festive buying during Akshaya Tritiya and the wedding season. The optimistic outlook for gold jewellers contrasts with the soft prospects for other sectors, including the auto and fast-moving consumer goods industries. 'Our outlook for jewellery, not just for the year but for the next few years, continues to be bullish," Ajoy Chawla, CEO of Titan's jewellery division, said in the company's June quarter update. Chawla attributed the upbeat outlook to steady wedding demand, a diversified product portfolio catering to traditional and modern buyers, and the company's continued expansion through new stores and digital channels like CaratLane. 'There are a couple of reasons why gold jewellers are quite bullish," said Gandhi of Dalal and Broacha, adding that store expansion alone contributes about 10% to growth and existing stores add another 5-7%. PN Gadgil and Senco have distinct approaches to the business. Last year, PN Gadgil received about 90% of its business from company-owned stores and the remaining from its 12 franchise-owned stores. At Senco, franchise-owned stores, which invest in both setting up the outlets and managing inventory but sell Senco's jewellery, accounted for one-third of revenue. Senco's expansion strategy hinges on a hybrid store model, with franchises in smaller towns and company-owned outlets in metros. Senco has 72 franchise showrooms of the 175 stores it operates and it may add more than than 10 franchisee outlets in the future. 'Franchises are mostly present in tier-3 and tier-4 towns, while our company-owned stores are in metros like Kolkata, Mumbai and Gurugram," Banka said. Titan plans to open 40-50 Tanishq stores and scale up its CaratLane and Mia formats. 'Every jeweller has their strategy to enter untapped markets," said Pratik Prajapati, an equity research analyst at Ambit Capital. 'Depending on the business plan and location, the model of the showroom, whether company-owned or franchise-owned, will differ." Exchanging gold The rise in gold prices also plays a crucial role, Gandhi said, as jewellery-making charges are typically linked to the invoice value rather than volume, allowing retailers to maintain or even expand margins. Wedding demand accounts for 30-40% of total sales, followed by daily wear and special occasion purchases. 'Customers usually come in with a fixed budget, not necessarily seeking 22-karat or 18-carat gold. If a product fits that budget, they go for it, which is why studded jewellery is gaining traction," Gandhi said. He also said that most studded pieces include diamonds, which typically offer better margins for jewellers. "Wedding demand also continues to remain robust this year – it typically makes up to 30-40% of the demand in the jewellery market,'' he said. Exchange schemes are growing in popularity as customers seek to take advantage of rising prices and upgrade their old jewellery with modern designs. Senco is encouraging customers to exchange old jewellery to meet its sales target, according to Banka, as gold prices continue to climb due to global uncertainties that are pushing bullion rates higher. Senco Gold said old-gold exchanges now make up 40% of its sales, up from 28% a year ago. 'When gold prices go up, customers do not have extra cash to buy new jewellery. Therefore, many middle-class families bring their old gold to exchange it for new jewellery," said Banka. 'We help them with free testing, melting and hallmarking the gold." For PN Gadgil too, old-gold exchanges are becoming a bigger contributor. 'Approximately 20% of total sales used to come from old-gold exchanges in the past year for the brand. Since a couple of months, it has increased to approximately 25%," said Suresh Krishnan, vice-president of sales. Titan described old-gold exchange schemes as a key lever to manage price sensitivity. Strong relationships Gold prices averaged ₹93,950 per 10 grams in the June quarter and briefly crossed ₹1,01,000 in some Indian cities, according to Senco's quarterly update on 4 July. 'It works well for customers because the gold they already own has appreciated in value," said Prajapati of Ambit Capital. 'They can exchange their old jewellery for new pieces of similar value without spending much additional money, which makes branded purchases more affordable and appealing especially when gold prices are high." This helps the company maintain strong customer relationships and, in turn, helps customers establish trust and transparency with the jeweller, he said. JM Financial forecasts a 20% CAGR for India's organised jewellery market through FY28, driven by hallmarking mandates, PAN-linked purchases, and a shift toward branded jewellery in smaller towns. 'The Indian jewellery market was worth INR 6.4 trillion in FY24, with an organised share of 38%. The organised segment is expected to witness higher growth of 20% over FY24-28E," JM Financial analysts noted in a 14 July report.
