PC Jeweller Q2 net profit jumps 58% to Rs 331 crore
The Story in Brief
PC Jeweller reported a 58% year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit to Rs 331 crore for the quarter ended September 2026, compared with Rs 210 crore in the same period last year. Revenue rose 27.8% to Rs 1,054 crore from Rs 825 crore, while EBITDA jumped 74.1% to Rs 309 crore. The company attributed the growth to sustained consumer demand.
The jewellery retailer said it has fully repaid all outstanding bank debt and received no-objection and release letters from its consortium of lenders. It plans to open up to 100 new showrooms over the next 12 to 18 months through company-owned and franchise outlets. A new jewellery brand targeting younger consumers is also being developed, focusing on lightweight and lab-grown diamond jewellery.
PC Jeweller's step-down subsidiary PCJ Mining SARL has commenced site development for a gold mining project in Chad. The company expects mining production to begin during the current financial year.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Economic Times and CNBC-TV18 reported PC Jeweller's Q2 results as a straightforward corporate earnings story. Neither outlet injected government or political framing into the coverage, focusing instead on financial figures, debt repayment, expansion plans, and the new brand launch. The only notable difference is that CNBC-TV18 carried additional detail on the Chad mining project and the tie-up with NSDC and the UP government, while Economic Times omitted those elements. The coverage is uniform straight reporting with no discernible slant, leaving the story's weight on the company's operational turnaround and growth outlook. Watch for PC Jeweller's showroom rollout pace and the start of gold production in Chad.
