Kalyan Jewellers has reported a robust performance for the first quarter of the fiscal year, registering a 48% year-on-year jump in profit after tax, reaching Rs. 264 crore.

Kalyan Jewellers, one of India’s leading jewelry retail chains, is strategically expanding its footprint through an asset-light franchise model, aiming to increase market penetration while simultaneously reducing its debt burden. This shift marks a significant pivot in the company’s operational approach—balancing growth with capital efficiency. With a strong presence in both urban and semi-urban markets, the jeweler is now targeting deeper regional outreach without incurring heavy upfront costs.

Kalyan Jewellers posted a remarkable 31% year-on-year rise in consolidated revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2025-26, reaching Rs 7,283 crore despite challenges from fluctuating gold prices and geopolitical uncertainties.

The firm accelerated expansion by inaugurating 19 new showrooms during the quarter and plans to open 170 more across domestic and global markets.
