Festive buying, premium collections, and robust consumer sentiment power Tata Group’s lifestyle giant to record quarterly earnings
New Delhi ( Economy India): Tata Group’s flagship lifestyle company Titan Company Ltd delivered a sparkling performance in the September quarter of FY2025-26, posting a 59% year-on-year jump in consolidated net profit to ₹1,120 crore, compared to ₹704 crore in the corresponding period last year.
The sharp profit surge was powered by resilient consumer demand in its jewellery division, steady growth in watches and wearables, and strong operational discipline. The company’s revenue and profitability both reflected buoyant market conditions ahead of the festive season.
Jewellery Segment: The Cornerstone of Titan’s Success
Titan’s jewellery business, which includes Tanishq, Mia, Zoya, and CaratLane, remained the growth engine of the company. The segment recorded double-digit revenue growth, driven by an uptick in gold and diamond jewellery sales.
Consumer sentiment remained upbeat, supported by wedding purchases, pre-festive buying, and the company’s continuous expansion across urban and semi-urban markets. Titan has also launched new collections to attract young consumers, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern design.
The company highlighted that new store additions and innovative retail formats boosted its brand reach. During the quarter, Titan continued to strengthen its omni-channel presence, integrating its online and offline sales channels for a seamless shopping experience.
“The jewellery segment continues to lead Titan’s growth story, supported by strong festive demand, customer trust, and brand equity. We expect the upcoming quarters to remain robust with the extended wedding season,” said the company’s management in a statement.
Watch and Wearables Business Sees Continued Momentum
The watch and wearables division — comprising brands such as Titan, Fastrack, Sonata, and Raga — witnessed steady sales growth. Premium analog watches and new-generation smart wearables were in high demand, particularly among millennial and Gen Z consumers.
Titan has been focusing on innovation in hybrid smartwatches and fitness-oriented designs, strengthening its position in the growing wearable technology market. The segment’s profitability improved owing to a better product mix and premiumization strategy.
Eyewear Segment Expands Retail Network
Titan’s eyewear business, operated under the Titan Eye+ brand, continued to expand its retail presence with new store launches and an enhanced online experience. The company said the segment’s performance was encouraging, with an increase in demand for prescription eyewear and sunglasses in urban centers.
With increasing health awareness post-pandemic, Titan Eye+ is positioning itself as a trusted brand for affordable yet high-quality optical solutions.
Digital Transformation and Omni-Channel Strategy
Titan has been increasingly investing in digital technology to offer a unified omni-channel experience. The company’s online platforms, combined with its widespread retail network, are enabling customers to browse and purchase products seamlessly.
Digital-first campaigns and personalized recommendations have been helping Titan attract younger customers, ensuring long-term brand loyalty.
Operational Efficiency and Cost Management
The company credited improved operating efficiency, supply chain optimization, and better cost control for its profit growth. Despite volatility in gold prices and macroeconomic headwinds, Titan managed to maintain strong margins.
The management highlighted its efforts to diversify product offerings, manage inventory prudently, and strengthen its vendor ecosystem to ensure profitability remains resilient.
Outlook: Festive and Wedding Seasons to Drive Future Growth
Looking ahead, Titan expects the ongoing festive season and extended wedding calendar to further drive demand in the second half of FY2025-26. The company plans to continue expanding its retail footprint, especially in Tier-II and Tier-III cities, to capture the next wave of consumption growth.
Market analysts believe that Titan’s diversified product portfolio and strong brand equity make it well-positioned to benefit from India’s rising disposable incomes and premiumization trend.
“Titan’s Q2 results reaffirm its leadership in India’s luxury and lifestyle market. With festive demand and new store expansion, the company is poised for sustained growth in the coming quarters,” said an equity analyst tracking consumer goods.
