Watches and Eyecare also delivered double-digit revenue growth, while Titan added 33 net jewellery stores during the quarter.

Titan Company has announced a healthy quarter for Q2FY23, reporting a consolidated net profit up 63% YoY to ₹1,777 crore driven by strong jewellery sales and premiumisation and growth across the consumer products portfolio. The company’s total income saw an increase of 40% YoY to ₹20,753 crore. The company’s Profit before Tax (PBT) was up by 64% at ₹2,429 crore.
Excluding the effect of increased customs duties on gold, the PBT growth was 37%. The PBT margin was 11.7%. The consolidated EBIT margin was up to 13.4% from 11.8% YoY, driven by high-margin jewellery sales.
Jewellery Business Drives Growth
Jewellery continued to act as the key growth driver for Titan. Revenue from the jewellery segment, excluding bullion and digital gold sales, increased by 43% to ₹18,253 crore. Jewellery revenue in India rose by 38% to ₹16,943 crore, while revenue from Tanishq, Mia and Zoya increased by 38% to ₹15,502 crore.
CaratLane revenue grew by 40% to ₹1,441 crore, whereas revenue from the international jewellery business increased sharply by 136% to ₹1,309 crore. EBIT from the jewellery segment was ₹2,360 crore, with a margin of 12.9%. Without customs duty profits, EBIT from jewellery in India was ₹1,961 crore, with a margin of 11.6%.
Strong Akshaya Tritiya-led demand, exchange programmes, premiumisation and relatively stable gold prices supported consumer confidence. Titan also added 33 net jewellery stores in India during the quarter, including 4 Tanishq, 17 Mia, 1 beYon and 11 CaratLane stores.

Watches, EyeCare and Emerging Businesses
The watches segment too performed exceedingly well for Titan with revenues rising by 21% to ₹1,543 crore. While analogue watches witnessed growth of more than twenty percent, there was single-digit decline in smartwatches. EBIT margins stood at ₹295 crore and 19.1%.
The Eyecare business posted revenues of ₹289 crore, up 21% from last year. EBIT margins came in at ₹24 crore. Titan opened 6 stores in the category of Titan Eye Plus and 1 Runway store.
Titan’s emerging businesses like SKINN, IRTH and Taneira together grew by 18% to ₹128 crore but the segment posted a loss of ₹39 crore. The Engineering and Automation business posted 43% revenues to ₹438 crore.
International Business Faces Geopolitical Pressure
Gold prices, customs duty revision, and geopolitics were some of the problems pointed out by Titan. Tanishq was experiencing good performance in North America, whereas double-digit growth was observed in the GCC markets.
Nonetheless, the Middle East conflict had an impact on footfalls and expenditure of Damas, which is a jewellery brand owned by Titan and recently acquired. Titan had a forecast of double-digit growth per year in jewellery revenue for the medium term despite management seeing some weakening of plain gold demand towards the latter half of July because of the volatility in gold prices.
Why Titan Stock Surged After Q1 Results?
Titan shares gained 2.64% to ₹5,075.10 during the morning session on August 10, after closing at ₹4,941 on August 7. The stock opened at ₹4,932 and touched an intraday high of ₹5,083.80.
The positive reaction was driven by the strong 63% profit growth, 40% increase in income, robust jewellery performance and improvement in overall EBIT margins. Strong store additions and continued premiumisation also supported investor sentiment. However, elevated gold prices, volatility in gold demand, higher expenses and geopolitical pressure on the international business remain key risks.
