Management Commentary:
Mr C K Venkataraman, Managing Director of Titan, said,
- “In the recently presented Union Budget, the customs duty on gold imports in the country has been reduced from 15% to 6%. This development has long-term positive implications for the Jewellery industry.
- While this change is likely to entail a short-term impact in the form of value loss on duty-paid gold inventory (expected to be expensed over the next two quarters), we remain optimistic on the longer-term benefits as it makes the market equitable for large businesses like ours.
- Our first quarter performance reflects mixed consumer trends in lifestyle categories. While the inclement weather conditions during the summers, general elections and lower wedding days impacted retail walk-ins, the growth metrics in Watches & Wearables and EyeCare were quite healthy. Notwithstanding some of these near-term variations, Titan is steadfastly pursuing market share gains across all business categories and is well-equipped to provide a differentiated retail experience to our valued customers. We remain optimistic about our performance for rest of the financial year. “
