What to watch
- Whether the ₹45-per-gram gap persists for more than one week or expands beyond roughly ₹75-₹100 per gram.
- Festival-season making-charge waivers, exchange bonuses or rate-lock campaigns from Malabar, Joyalukkas and regional chains.
- Changes in international gold prices, rupee movement and domestic bullion premiums that force retail-rate resets.
- Tanishq footfall, conversion, old-gold exchange mix and sales performance in price-sensitive cities.
- Social and search activity comparing Tanishq's daily rate with peer jewellers.
- Maintain the headline 22K rate while promoting exchange, buyback, instalment and making-charge offers.
- Use festive collections and trust-led messaging to justify the modest rate premium.
- Monitor peer rate cards daily and selectively match through store-level offers in price-sensitive markets.
- Adjust making charges or promotional benefits before reducing the advertised gold rate if competitive pressure rises.
