Reason Behind the Surge:
Titan Company reported a strong business performance in the first quarter of FY2027. Its consumer businesses recorded 41 percent year-on-year growth, while the domestic business grew 37 percent. During the quarter, the company added 77 net stores, taking its total retail network to 3,680 stores across different business segments.
The jewellery business was the biggest contributor, growing 39 percent year-on-year. Strong demand during the festive season and Akshaya Tritiya, along with relatively stable gold prices, supported sales. The company’s jewellery brands, including Tanishq, Mia, Zoya, and beYon, also grew 39 percent, while CaratLane recorded an impressive 42 percent growth.
Titan’s watches and eyewear businesses also delivered healthy performance. The Watches division grew 23 percent, driven by strong demand for premium analog watches, although smartwatch sales declined. The EyeCare business also grew 23 percent, supported by higher sales of both owned and international brands and increasing demand for premium products.
The company’s international business recorded an impressive 128 percent growth, supported by strong demand in North America and encouraging performance in GCC countries. Titan ended the quarter with 1,227 jewellery stores, 1,345 watch stores, 847 EyeCare stores, and 98 emerging business stores, reflecting its continued focus on expanding its retail presence and strengthening long-term growth.
