Renaissance Global has decided to discontinue manufacturing operations at its plant situated in Bhavnagar, Gujarat.
With a gradual shift in US consumer preferences towards lab grown diamond (LGD) jewellery, the Company has been witnessing a decline in the low value mined diamond category, which was primarily being manufactured at this plant. The Company has also been shifting focus on growing its D2C segment which is highly geared towards better quality and higher value LGD jewellery, with an added emphasis on fully customized jewellery delivered within ultra short lead times. This shift has made it possible to consolidate all of the Company's manufacturing operations in Mumbai. Importantly, the company remains confident in its ability to maintain existing sales volumes, leveraging improved efficiencies and optimal utilization of its remaining facilities.
The move is expected to result in annual cost savings to the tune of Rs. 15 crore.
The decision stems from a comprehensive strategic review undertaken in the second quarter of FY25, during which the company embarked on a detailed evaluation of its manufacturing footprint. As part of
this review, RGL implemented robust process re-engineering and capacity rationalization initiatives aimed at aligning its operations more closely with current revenue levels and future business goals.
