Average transaction values and selling prices for gold jewellery rose by nearly 22%, although average weight per product declined by approximately 6.5% due to price impact.

On the outlook front, the company said, 'Having already launched nine showrooms, we are on course to achieve our annual target of 20 showrooms. We have a good pipeline of franchisee stores under both FOFO and FOCO models. In addition, we are also exploring the franchise route for expansion of Sennes, Gossip, and Everlite brands. Sennes, being a new and modern brand, will continue its growth journey.

Q2 usually has no festivals or wedding demand and is driven by Monsoon led demand and usually lower than Q1. With an early onset of monsoon (1st time in last 16 years) and above average rainfall prediction of 106% and stable macroeconomic environment, we are now preparing for Q2 with focus on inventory optimisation, festive collections, and accelerating diamond and lightweight jewellery lines. Price volatility in gold and upcoming festivals like Raksha Bandhan and Onam will shape consumer demand in Q2. We see growing consumer demand for 14K and 18K jewellery, while the industry is working towards 9K jewellery.'
