Titan Industries Ltd., a leading Indian watch and jewellery maker and retailer, reported that their net profit rose by 79% to $7.6 million in the Ist Quarter of 2008-2009 ending on 30th June2008.

This is the good achievment for the compnay because this year from the begning Inflation Rates are very high and we have also experinced high oil prices with which high gold prices are there in the market but despite of these circumstances Tanshiq done very well in India as well as Outside India.
Although festive time is remain to come for good sales for Tanishq and some other brands in India so company might be taking it as an motivated sign to show much good results this year in High Inflation Rates
