The Bengaluru store reflects Forevermark’s focus on combining physical retail with digital tools and personalised shopping experiences. The expansion comes as luxury jewellery consumption continues to grow in India’s major urban markets, supported by rising purchasing power and increasing consumer interest in branded natural diamond jewellery.

The company plans to continue expanding its store presence across India as it works towards its target of 20 outlets by the end of 2026.
Omnichannel jewellery retailer BlueStone has outlined ambitious growth plans for the coming years, aiming to significantly scale its business through an expanded retail footprint and stronger customer engagement. The company is targeting annual revenue of ₹12,000 crore by FY30, driven by robust same-store sales performance and an aggressive store expansion strategy across India.
A key component of BlueStone’s strategy is the continued expansion of its physical retail presence. The company plans to increase its store count from 340 outlets across 134 cities and towns in FY26 to 706 stores by FY30. More than half of these locations are expected to be situated in Tier II and Tier III markets, highlighting the growing importance of smaller cities in India’s jewellery retail landscape.
The financial year FY26 marked a significant milestone for the jewellery retailer as it reported its first-ever profit after tax (PAT). The company posted a net profit of ₹26 crore compared to a loss of ₹219.2 crore in FY25. During the same period, operating revenue increased by 38 percent year-on-year to ₹2,441.2 crore, reflecting strong consumer demand and improved business performance.
With a growing omnichannel presence, increasing customer retention, and a strong push into emerging markets, BlueStone is positioning itself to capitalize on the rising demand for branded jewellery across India while strengthening its leadership in the organized jewellery retail segment.
