  5. CHANGE IN THE NATURE OF BUSINESS, IF ANY:
  6. There was no change in the nature of business of the Company.

  7. FUTURE PROSPECTS:

Being in the organized Jewellery manufacturing business, the factors that have aided growth of organized players Industry interactions indicate national and regional jewellery retailers (organized segment) enjoy an edge over their smaller, standalone counterparts due to the following advantages:

  • Widespread presence across cities and locations: National and regional jewellery retailers typically have a wider presence across several cities and locations compared with their smaller, standalone counterparts. Geographical diversification via owned as well as franchisee stores allows them to capitalise on growing consumer awareness about quality, brands and design trends, and gain share from the unorganised segment,
  • Rise in migration: In recent years, many young Indians have ventured out of their hometowns for better career opportunities. Rise in the migratory population augurs well for organised jewellers since these consumers mostly do not have strong relationships with local jewellers and are typically more inclined towards organised stores that offer contemporary designs,
  • Focus on quality and trust: Several national and regional jewellery retailers are laying a strong emphasis on quality with regard to caratage, an aspect that was previously undermined, especially before BIS hallmarking of jewellery. An increasing number of national and regional jewellers are opting for hallmarking registration to win customer trust. Launch of other schemes such as buyback of gold further helps reinforce their focus on quality
  • Better inventory management: Typically, national and regional players have better inventory management systems owing to higher number of stores and, thus, presence over a wider region. This enables the players to shift inventory from stores showing low demand for a particular product to stores where there is more demand for the same or similar items. Further, an inventory- tracking system enables companies to monitor consumer preferences and enhance consumer satisfaction based on demand from the region
  • Product raw material sourcing: Players largely rely on imports to source raw gold since India has negligible diamond and gold mining operations. With raw materials accounting for the largest share of a jewellers operating costs, ability to source them efficiently is a major success factor. Owing to large volumes of purchases, large organised players have easier access to credit at more competitive rates than smaller, unorganised jewellers
  • Launch of new collections and brands: Given their scale and size of operations, national and regional jewellery retailers are able to develop and design jewellery according to regional tastes as well as global trends, and launch new collections and brands at regular intervals, thus providing the customer with a wider choice • Investments in brand building: Typically, national and regional jewellery retailers invest large amounts in brand building and advertising initiatives compared with the standalone players, which helps establish trust and create brand recall value for customers •

Ability to attract better talent: Typically, national and regional jewellery retailers have the ability to attract and retain better talent owing to a well-established brand name, faster growth opportunities and better profitability, which enable them to offer competitive salaries • Emergence of online formats: Players are increasingly adopting the online format as an alternative sales channel, especially in metropolitan cities. As per industry sources, although the share of online

in total gems and jewellery sales is currently miniscule (around 4% of the total industry), it is poised for fast growth rate of 28-33% and is expected to account for 7-8% of the gems and jewellery segment by fiscal 2025. Apart from physical brick-and-mortar (B&M) stores, players have created an online presence via their own websites, mobile applications, or tie-ups with marketplace websites such as Amazon and Flipkart. Many prominent jewellers such as Tanishq, Kalyan Jewellers, Joyalukkas, Malabar Gold & Diamonds, 163 Senco Gold & Diamonds, PC Jeweller, and Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri have started retailing jewellery online.

  • Regulatory changes: GST implementation reduced the erstwhile tax arbitrage aiding unorganised players. Furthermore, measures such as demonetization to curb unaccounted money flowing into the gold industry are expected to have aided organised players. The government has also introduced mandatory hallmarking of gold jewellery, which is expected to significantly reduce the price differential between organised and unorganised players. Currently, owing to the lack of awareness among consumers, unorganised retailers often sell non-hallmarked items with lower-than-stated caratage. This enables them to maintain profitability despite charging less than organised players. Proper implementation of this rule is likely to impact the profitability of unorganised players, who will then have to raise their making charges.
  • Mandatory Hallmark Unique Identification (HUID) for gold jewellery: The government mandated a six-digit alphanumeric code HUID number for gold jewellery and other items from 1 April 2024. The hallmarking will enhance the attractiveness of standardized gold across India, and it will enable the tracking and auditing for the government thereby helping in controlling unaccounted transactions. • Better customer service and policies: Organised players provide standard terms and conditions to all their customers in terms of exchange, refund and repairs, which play a pivotal role in driving repeat footfall and customer loyalty.

REGIONAL MARKET:

Southern region dominates with 38-43% share Industry estimates indicate ~70% of Indias gold demand emanates from rural areas, in line with the demographics of the country. Demand is supported by higher per-capita income, lower poverty rates and strong non-resident Indian demand. Industry estimates also indicate southern India is predominantly a 22-carat traditional, handmade market. In contrast, eastern India accounts for only 13-18% of gold demand. Similar to southern India, demand for jewellery in the eastern region is focused largely on the 22-carat type. In contrast, the northern (23-28%) and western (18-23%) regions prefer 14- and 18-carat jewellery, respectively.

COMPANY PLANS:

With a target of becoming the largest manufacturer of CZ with precious colour gemstones studded jewellery, the company is coming up with new facilities with an expansion of its capacity 4 times than the existing and the said facility of the Company will be well equipped with state-of-the-art Mechanization and technology thereby increasing the overall capacity and enhanced finishing of the products.
