India's Organised Jewellery Sector Maintains Growth Amid Rising Gold Prices and Duty Hike
India's organised jewellery sector is expected to sustain healthy growth driven by strong wedding and festive demand despite an over 80% year-on-year rise in gold prices, according to Nuvama Research. Retailers reported robust revenue and customer interest in Q4 FY26, with demand likely to continue into Q1 FY27. However, the Adhik Maas period and a recent increase in gold import duty from 6% to 15% may cause short-term demand softening. Consumers are adapting by opting for lightweight and lower-carat jewellery and investing in gold bars and coins.
