What to watch
- Gold and silver price direction over the next 2-4 weeks, especially whether gold holds above Rs 1.5 lakh per 10g.
- Festive and wedding-season booking trends, including advance purchases and gold-savings-plan redemptions.
- Same-store sales split between revenue growth, transaction counts, average ticket size and grams sold.
- Old-gold exchange volumes and customer migration toward lightweight or studded jewellery.
- Retailer commentary on hedge effectiveness, inventory gains/losses, making charges and gross-margin stability.
- Rupee movement and international bullion prices, which can amplify domestic price volatility.
- Increase lightweight, modular and lower-ticket designs while protecting making-charge mix.
- Expand old-gold exchange, gold-savings plans, EMIs and transparent price-lock offers to reduce purchase deferral.
- Tighten bullion hedging and replenishment cycles to limit margin volatility from rapid metal-price moves.
- Prioritise bridal, studded and design-led products where value addition can offset lower gold grams per transaction.
- Use elevated prices to accelerate organised-market share capture from smaller jewellers with weaker working-capital capacity.
