The jewellery and watch-making expanded its retail presence by adding 90 stores during the October-December period, bringing the total number of stores to 2,949.

In the jewellery division, domestic sales surged by 21%, driven by double-digit buyer growth and a moderate improvement in average selling prices.

Internationally, Tanishq expanded its global presence by adding two stores in the USA (Houston and Dallas) and one in Singapore, bringing the international footprint to 14 stores.

The watches and wearables segment in the domestic market experienced a remarkable 23% growth. This comprised an 18% revenue growth in analog watches and an impressive 64% growth in wearables.
