Kalyan Jewellers Posts 31% Q2 Growth as Candere Soars, Resumes Debt Reduction After Collateral Release

Fresh lender clearance to release real estate collateral gives the retailer added financial flexibility before the festive quarter.

Overview

  • Consolidated revenue rose about 30–31% year on year in Q2 FY26, the slowest pace in four quarters versus 37.4% a year earlier.
  • India operations grew roughly 31% with same-store sales up about 16%, helped by festive and wedding demand as Navratri was not in last year’s base.
  • International revenue increased about 17% with the Middle East up around 10% on same-store gains, contributing close to 12% of consolidated sales.
  • Digital-first brand Candere delivered approximately 127% year-on-year revenue growth, supported by higher showroom footfalls and web traffic.
  • The company opened 15 Kalyan stores and 15 Candere outlets in India plus two in the Middle East, taking the network to 436 locations, secured lead-bank approval to release real estate collateral, resumed debt reduction, and plans about 15 more Kalyan openings before Diwali.
