What to watch
- Daily 22K quote spread between Tanishq, Malabar Gold & Diamonds and Joyalukkas exceeding ₹75-₹100/g.
- Sustained moves higher in domestic bullion futures and rupee depreciation.
- Launch of chain-wide making-charge, exchange or festive booking offers.
- Changes in store traffic, wedding bookings and lightweight-jewellery merchandising.
- Track whether Tanishq maintains the ₹45/g 22K premium or closes the gap via promotional value rather than a rate change.
- Expect intensified festive messaging around exchange bonuses, lower making charges, assured buyback and EMI affordability.
- Watch for a mix shift toward lower-weight designs, coins/bars and recycled-gold exchange transactions if bullion rises further.
