- Retail revenue surged 56% YoY, led by 46% same-store sales growth.

- Total stores at 78; company reiterates plan to add ~25 stores in FY27.
Why this matters
The same-store growth signals organic demand, not just new stores. Improving mix and normalising bullion sales support margin guidance. With revenue guidance already raised to ₹13,500 cr for FY27, this Q1 keeps the company on track.
What we're watching
- Whether the strong same-store growth sustains through the festive season.
- Impact of new store ramps in Northern and Central India on margins.
- Any further revision to margin guidance if bullion share stabilises.
The full read
PN Gadgil Jewellers opened FY27 with a clear message: organic demand, not store count, is doing the heavy lifting. Retail revenue jumped 56% year-on-year, driven by a 46% same-store sales surge, a figure that strips out the benefit of new outlets. The product mix improved. Studded jewellery, with higher margins, rose to 10.9% of retail sales from the prior quarter. Meanwhile, low-margin gold bullion normalised to about 22% of retail revenue, after spiking previously. That alone helps margins. The company reiterated its plan to add 25 stores this year, taking the network to 103 by March. At 78 stores currently, the expansion is early, but the stud ratio in newer Northern and Central India stores is already meaningfully higher — a good sign for future mix. Management confirmed the quarter is in line with earlier margin guidance. The real test is whether 46% same-store growth is sustainable through the rest of the year.
