So, what does this move mean for the company and how will it play out for existing shareholders? Let\u2019s decode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overview Of Titan Company<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Titan Company<\/a> was established in 1984 as a joint venture between the Tata Group and the Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO). It has grown into one of India\u2019s leading lifestyle companies. The company\u2019s portfolio spans watches, jewellery, eyewear, wearables, fragrances, fashion accessories, and ethnic dress wear. Plus, its flagship brands, Tanishq, Titan, Fastrack, Mia, CaratLane, and Titan Eye+, serve a broad consumer base through a retail network of over 2,000 stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jewellery remains the company\u2019s largest business, contributing approximately 85% of revenue in FY25, led by brands such as Tanishq, Mia, Zoya, and CaratLane<\/a>. The watches and wearables division accounted for 8%, with Titan holding a significant share of India\u2019s analog watch market. The eyewear business contributed around 1%, with Titan Eye+ being the largest optical retail chain in the country. Emerging businesses, including fragrances, Indian dress wear (Taneria), and fashion accessories, made up the remaining 2% of revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to its domestic presence, Titan is expanding internationally with jewellery and eyewear stores across the Gulf, North America, and Southeast Asia. Its global ambitions are also supported by strategic moves such as the recent deal with the Damas Jewellery in the UAE, aimed at strengthening its Middle East footprint and scaling international growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Details Of Damas Jewellery\u2019s 67% Acquisition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Titan Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Titan Holdings International FZCO, has announced the acquisition of a 67% stake in Dubai-based Damas Jewellery LLC, marking its largest global acquisition to date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The all-cash deal is valued at an enterprise value of AED 1,038 million (approximately \u20b92,438 crore or $283 million), inclusive of debt<\/a>. The seller in this transaction is Mannai Corporation QPSC, a Qatar-based firm that has owned Damas since 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The acquisition specifically excludes Damas\u2019s franchise business with Graff, the British luxury jeweller. By acquiring this stake, Titan gains a significant foothold in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) market through a brand with deep regional roots and recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To finance the deal, Titan will use a combination of internal accruals, existing cash reserves, and debt, indicating both strong liquidity and a strategic capital deployment plan. The transaction is expected to close by January 31, 2026, pending regulatory and antitrust approvals across relevant jurisdictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the agreement, Mannai Corporation will retain the remaining 33% stake for a minimum of four years, after which Titan will hold the option to acquire full ownership as of December 31, 2029. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
