BENGALURU, Jan 6 - India's Titan Company TITN.NS on Tuesday reported a 38% rise in domestic sales for the third quarter, helped by skyrocketing bullion prices.
Titan's jewellery business, which accounts for nearly 88% of its revenue, grew 41% year-on-year, the company said in a business update for the quarter ended December 31.
Spot gold prices XAU= rose nearly 12% during the quarter in a year in which the precious metal clocked its steepest rise since 1979, driven by geopolitical uncertainties, rate cuts and robust central bank buying.
