What to watch
- Sustained movement in IBJA gold reference rates and the size of retailer-to-benchmark premiums.
- Widening city-level or chain-level gaps for equivalent 22k jewellery.
- Increase in making-charge waivers, exchange bonuses or gold-savings-plan promotions.
- Consumer search interest for gold rates, exchange rates, lightweight jewellery and lower-purity designs.
- Wedding-season footfall, conversion rates, average selling price and gram-per-bill trends.
- Track each chain's effective checkout price by separating gold value, making charges, wastage, GST and exchange deductions.
- Monitor promotional intensity around wedding and festival demand, especially zero-making-charge, old-gold exchange and instalment offers.
- Expand visibility of lighter-weight, 18k and 20k collections if high 22k/24k ticket values suppress unit demand.
- Use digital rate updates and store-level price calculators to capture comparison shoppers before they visit competitors.
