Kaushik Das, vice-president of ICRA, said in an interview quoted by Rough & Polished: “The industry is likely to post y-o-y growth of 15%. Organized players are expected to witness a higher-than industry growth of more than 20%, fuelled by renewed store expansion undertaken across markets, coupled with an increasing shift towards hallmarked products.”
