Senco Gold Limited has announced an extension for its planned acquisition of August Jewellery Private Limited, the parent company of the online jewellery brand Melorra. The deal, valued at ₹400 crore, is now expected to be completed by June 30, 2026, pushing the original deadline of April 30, 2026, back by two months.
The company confirmed that the acquisition process is progressing as planned and that all original terms and conditions of the transaction remain in effect. In its recent financial update, Senco Gold reported Q3 FY24 revenue of ₹1,383 crore and a profit of ₹107.56 crore.
While the core terms of the acquisition are unchanged, the two-month extension for closing the deal will be noted by investors. Such adjustments can sometimes indicate complexities in integration or approval stages, though Senco Gold has assured the process is on track.
Senco Gold initially announced its intention to acquire Melorra in December 2025, seeking to enhance its digital footprint and appeal to a younger, online-focused demographic. The ₹400 crore acquisition received board approval on January 21, 2026.
Operating within India's competitive jewellery retail sector, Senco Gold competes with major players like Titan Company Ltd and Kalyan Jewellers India Ltd. The acquisition of Melorra is a key strategy to bolster Senco Gold's online sales channels and modern offerings.
Investors will be tracking Senco Gold's progress towards the new June 30, 2026, completion date and the eventual integration of Melorra's operations into the company's broader business.
