Gold Jewellery Retailers Face Volume Decline but Revenue Growth in FY27: Crisil
India's organised gold jewellery retailers are expected to see a 4-6% decline in sales volumes in the current fiscal, an improvement from last year's 8% drop, according to Crisil Ratings. Despite high gold prices projected to rise 25-27%, revenues are forecast to grow 21-23%. Consumers are shifting towards lighter, lower-carat jewellery due to affordability concerns. Operating margins may decline slightly due to moderated inventory gains and increased promotional spending, while retailers continue gaining market share amid festive demand.
