Titan targets 30% of India's mechanical watch market by 2033, launching Vetra in-house movement brand
Our read
Titan is pushing Titan Automatics into four new families under the Vetra in-house movement brand, aiming to lift its share of a mechanical segment growing from Rs 3,000 crore to Rs 15,000 crore from 12-13% to 30% by 2033, so watch retailers should expect more premium automatic range competing for the same shelf space.
Watch
Titan Automatics revenue above the ₹350-400 crore expected, at the full-year results, would mean in-house movements are winning share from imported rivals.
