Industry Outlook

India’s gems and jewellery market size was at US$ 78.50 billion in FY21. Growth in exports is mainly due to revived import demand in the export market of the US and the fulfilment of orders received by numerous Indian exhibitors during the Virtual Buyer-Seller Meets (VBSMs) conducted by GJEPC. The future outlook for gold jewellery seems to be promising amidst some challenges. Increase in duty drawback for gold announced in Oct 2023, New year and the Valentine month are expected to result in increased exports.

In the coming years, growth in the gems and jewellery sector would largely be contributed by the development of large retailers/brands. Established brands are guiding the organised market and are opening opportunities to grow. Increasing penetration of organised players provides variety in terms of products and designs. Also, the relaxation of restrictions on gold import is likely to provide a fillip to the industry.

Risks of N R Gold IPO

• Concentrated Customer Base :

N R Gold Ltd, along with its subsidiary, has a concentrated customer base, making it significantly dependent on few key customers for its revenue. The loss of any one or more of these customers could have a significant impact on its business operations and profitability.

• Dependence on Few Suppliers :

The company’s dependence on few suppliers puts it at risk of interruptions in the availability of raw materials, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, it has not entered into any long-term agreements with its suppliers for raw materials and accordingly may not be able to enjoy credit and other facilities provided by its existing suppliers.

• Fluctuation in Price and Supply of Raw Materials :

Any fluctuation in price and supply of raw materials, particularly gold, which is its primary raw material for the manufacture of its products, could adversely impact its income. Also, the company’s income and sales are subject to seasonal fluctuations and lower income in a peak season may have a disproportionate effect on its results of operations.
