Dr Saurabh Gadgil’s Statement on Strong Operating Performance

Dr Saurabh Gadgil, Chairman and Managing Director of P N Gadgil Jewellers Ltd., said, “The second quarter of FY25 has been highly rewarding, marked by strong operating performance across all our markets despite significant volatility in gold prices. Q2 FY25 surpassed expectations, establishing a solid foundation for growth, with demand levels exceeding those of Q2 FY24.

Successful Stock Market Debut

One of the most notable milestones this quarter was our strong debut on the stock market on September 17, 2024. Our shares listed at Rs 830 on the National Stock Exchange, an impressive 72.91% premium over the issue price of Rs 480 per share. On the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), the shares opened at Rs 834, marking a 73.75% premium. This reflects the trust and confidence our stakeholders have in PNG Jewellers’ legacy, growth potential, and future vision.

Impact of Reduction in Gold Import Duty

Several factors shaped this successful quarter. The reduction in gold import duty announced in the union budget was a pivotal development. Lowering the import duty for gold and silver to 6% and platinum to 6.4% aligned with industry demands and positively impacted consumption, helping moderate prices that had previously reached record highs. This move has not only supported the growth of the organized sector but also provided much-needed relief to consumers while enhancing market transparency and curbing illegal smuggling activities.

Boost in Demand During Festive Season

Additionally, the festive season, which included Ganesh Utsav, Janmashtami, and Raksha Bandhan, drove strong gold demand and consumer engagement. We also saw a phenomenal response to our Maha Mangalsutra Mahotsav and Painjain Mahotsav which further boosted sales and strengthened our market position. Collectively, these factors along with our successful stock market debut, contributed to the strong operating performance we achieved in Q2 FY25.
