What to watch

  • Making-charge discounts, exchange campaigns or zero-cost EMI offers from any major chain.
  • Store footfall, conversion and average gold weight per bill during wedding-season demand.
  • Further bullion volatility and whether competitors pass through increases at the same speed.
  • Growth in lightweight jewellery, studded jewellery and old-gold exchange inquiries.
  • Increase making-charge waivers, exchange bonuses and EMI messaging to offset the visible per-gram premium without diluting headline pricing.
  • Push lightweight, studded and modular collections to preserve transaction counts as consumers reduce gold weight per purchase.
  • Use store-level and digital comparison messaging around certification, buyback and service value to justify the premium.
  • Monitor regional competitor promotions closely, especially during wedding and festival purchase windows.
