A crackdown on the import of gold has left jewellers struggling before the coming festive season and the wedding season in December when demand spikes. Titan would use its direct import licence to procure the yellow metal. Titan has not used the licence till date, it bought gold from local agencies and banks that allowed a better working-capital cycle with a credit period of 180 days. Payments for direct imports have to be settled in 90 days. Titan, which operates its jewellery business through Tanishq, receives about 80 per cent of its revenue from this segment. The company has never exported gold but might have to now, as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) mandates importers using the licence earmark a fifth for exports.

The uncertainty over return on investments and other risks remain but there is an incentive to export is there because then it will be easier to import. An RBI ban on leasing gold has also put pressure on the company’s balance sheet. They will have a net debt balance sheet now. It will be a significant increase, in terms of the quantum of money. But they hope to take it on our shoulder and do something about our overall profitability, so they can absorb this increase down the road.
