  • A widening published-rate gap above ₹50/g, which could increase consumer comparison shopping and pressure premium-chain conversion.
  • Tanishq promotional changes in making charges, exchange bonuses, gold-rate protection or online-exclusive offers.
  • Rupee depreciation, import-duty/tax developments, or a bullion rebound that interrupts retail-rate cuts.
  • Festive and wedding-season footfall data, booking volumes and lightweight-jewellery mix shifts.
