C K Venkataraman, managing director of the company stated that: The quarter witnessed a slow start and performance progressively improved with the early festive commencement in September. The demand momentum in Navratri was particularly strong leading to a healthy 21% growth in Q2FY26. Our Jewellery business, in particular, benefitted immensely from this late surge underscoring the brand strengths and enduring consumer affinity for our brands Tanishq, Mia, Zoya and CaratLane.

During the quarter, Titan announced its plan to acquire a controlling stake in 'Damas Jewellery', one of the most prominent and trusted brands in the GCC region. This acquisition marks a significant step forward in our ambitions, reinforcing our commitment to delivering exceptional value to our customers globally. With the festive season driving positive consumer sentiment, we remain focused on strengthening brand salience and accelerating growth across all our businesses.
