Titan Industries today, 11 June 2013, said that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has clarified that all imports of gold for domestic consumption, either through banks, nominated agencies or directly can be made only with 100% cash margin. The RBI has also clarified that credit of any kind from suppliers or bullion banks for import of gold for domestic use is prohibited, Titan said. This will affect import of gold through all non consignment routes like gold on lease/loan, Titan Industries said. Titan imports gold for its retail gold jewellery business.
Titan said it had sought some clarifications on gold imports after the Reserve Bank of India issued a notification on 4 June 2013 on changes to the current terms governing import of gold in India.
Titan Industries' net profit surged 28.2% to Rs 184.97 crore on 14.8% growth in net sales to Rs 2593.13 crore in Q4 March 2013 over Q4 March 2012.
Titan Industries retails branded gold jewellery under the brand name Tanishq. It sells watches under a premium brand Titan and economy brand Sonata.
