KOLKATA/MUMBAI/NEW DELHI – Strong growth in Titan Co. Ltd.'s jewellery portfolio, which typically accounts for over 90% of its revenue, led the watch maker to report a 15-quarter high on-year growth in revenue for the March quarter. However, its on-year net profit growth was the lowest in last four quarters.
Titan reported a sharp 78% on-year growth in its revenue from operations to over INR 239 billion and its net profit increased over 29% on year to over INR 11 billion. The Street expected Titan to report a revenue of INR 209 billion and a net profit of around INR 14 billion.
The consolidated jewellery business continued its strong momentum from the December quarter and recorded a 50% on-year growth in the March quarter to INR 182 billion, Titan said in a statement.

Segment revenue for the jewellery business, including other income, was INR 224.37 billion, up over 85% from a year ago.
Consumer confidence in gold, both as an adornment and an asset, remained intact despite record high prices and volatility in the quarter, Titan said, adding that this confidence translated into healthy buyer engagement.
