The company’s festive season sales continue to be a key growth driver for the company. On Akshaya Tritiya this year, the company recorded it’s highest-ever single-day festive sales at Rs 139.53 crore, marking a strong 35.1% year-on-year increase.

Same-store sales growth (SSSG) for the quarter stood at 8%. The growth was partly impacted by the absence of the Gudi Padwa festival in Q1 FY26, which fell in Q4 FY25 this year. In the previous year, the festival occurred during Q1, affecting like-for-like comparability.
In Q1 FY26, the company expanded its footprint with the launch of Litestyle, a dedicated sub-brand designed to cater to the growing demand for stylish, lightweight jewellery.
Additionally, 2 new showrooms were opened during the quarter — one COCO (company owned, company operated) and one FOCO (franchise owned, company operated) — bringing the total store count to 55.
Looking ahead to FY26, the company is focused on accelerating its store rollout, with 7 to 9 new launches a combination of company-owned (COCO) and franchise outlets (FOCO) planned for Q2 FY26. This forms a key part of the broader goal of opening 20-25 new stores during the fiscal year.
The expansion strategy will center on key growth markets such as Maharashtra, where the company maintains a leadership position, as well as high-potential regions like Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. These areas will remain pivotal to driving market penetration and increasing accessibility, supporting the company’s growth trajectory.
