Utssav CZ Gold Jewels Limited, a listed player in the Indian jewellery industry, has announced a significant strategic shift in its manufacturing operations. At a Board of Directors meeting held on 1st August 2025, the company approved its expansion into new product categories within the jewellery segment, most notably into natural diamond jewellery and lab-grown diamond jewellery, in addition to plain gold casting ornaments.

The announcement was made through an official filing to the National Stock Exchange (NSE), where the company trades under the symbol UTSSAV. The meeting was conducted at the company’s Registered Office in Andheri (East), Mumbai, and took place from 04:00 P.M. to 04:30 P.M.

The board has decided to diversify its manufacturing operations by entering three specific jewellery segments:

1. Plain gold casting jewellery

2. Natural diamond-studded jewellery

3. Lab-grown diamond jewellery

This marks a bold strategic move by Utssav CZ Gold Jewels, aimed at capitalising on the growing demand for diamond-studded ornaments in both domestic and international markets. Lab-grown diamonds, in particular, have seen rising acceptance among consumers, especially the younger generation, who prefer sustainability, affordability, and modern aesthetics.

The company has indicated that this expansion is not only meant to widen its product offering but also to significantly improve overall profit margins. Diamond jewellery, due to its higher value addition, generally commands better profitability compared to plain gold ornaments. By entering the natural and lab-grown diamond space, the company expects to enhance its financial performance, position itself more competitively in the jewellery industry, and create long-term value for shareholders.

In its statement, Utssav CZ Gold Jewels said the decision will help attract a broader customer base, especially in urban and premium markets where the demand for modern, diamond-centric designs is robust. The introduction of lab-grown diamonds is also likely to appeal to environmentally-conscious consumers, providing the company with an edge in a segment that is quickly evolving.

India's jewellery industry has seen an increasing shift toward product diversification, as companies aim to cater to varied customer preferences. The entry into lab-grown diamonds is becoming a mainstream move for many manufacturers due to its lower cost of production, ethical sourcing advantages, and growing regulatory acceptance across markets.

With this expansion, Utssav CZ Gold Jewels joins a new wave of jewellers who are focusing on value-added segments to navigate volatile gold prices, changing consumer tastes, and intense competition. While traditional gold jewellery still dominates a large part of Indian retail, diamond jewellery commands premium margins and is essential for companies targeting urban, high-end consumers and export-oriented growth.

Analysts tracking the jewellery industry have welcomed the development, suggesting that the diversification into diamond jewellery could lead to enhanced valuation metrics for the company over the medium term. They point out that companies capable of blending traditional craftsmanship with modern consumer expectations have the best chance of sustaining growth.

Utssav CZ Gold Jewels has previously been known for its affordable and festive jewellery offerings. The move to include diamond-studded pieces—both natural and lab-grown—represents a key turning point in its brand evolution. It also signals the company’s intent to play in a more premium, margin-rich market segment, which could unlock new channels for retail and e-commerce sales.

The company has not yet disclosed the investment amount or timeline for this expansion, but further updates are expected in upcoming disclosures. Stakeholders and investors will be keenly watching the implementation phase, including any capacity enhancement at existing facilities or the launch of new collections under the expanded product portfolio.

This development was duly signed and confirmed by Managing Director Pankajkumar Hastimal Jagawat (DIN: 01843846), who digitally signed the disclosure as per listing requirements.

The company’s official communication reiterated its commitment to growth, innovation, and creating long-term shareholder value, while remaining compliant with SEBI’s Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements (LODR) Regulations, 2015.

As the festive season approaches and jewellery demand typically surges, Utssav CZ Gold Jewels' foray into high-margin segments could not have come at a better time. The market will now watch closely for product roll-outs, consumer response, and how well the company manages this strategic transition in the competitive Indian jewellery landscape.
