Timex Group India Limited has reported its third-quarter 2025-26 fiscal year financial results, which show that the company has a strong upward trend in its fiscal performance. The company recorded a total revenue of ₹151 crore during the quarter, which is a year-on-year growth of revenue by 26%.
This expansion was also characterized by a radical increase in profitability due to the fact that the after-tax and exceptional item profit increased by 3.05 times that of the previous year. This remarkable financial jump is an indicator of the increased attention of the company to the efficiency of its operating activities and the strategic intent for profitable growth.
Portfolio expansion
The success of the quarter was significantly contributed to by the outstanding results of the Timex brand itself, which became the fastest-growing brand in the company portfolio with 32% growth rate. Besides the core brand, licensed luxury and fashion brands such as Guess and Versace were experiencing healthy double-digit growth, with other brands in the stable holding steady performances.
The company was in a position to capitalize on the changing preference of the Indian customer to high end, design-focused, and lifestyle-based timepieces. Strategic initiatives undertaken in the process were the introduction of Aston Martin watches into India and the extension of high value Atelier brand, which were well received by consumers.
Strategic channel growth and management vision
Timex Group India was experiencing balanced growth in various distribution channels, which shows that the omnichannel approach was effective. The e-commerce business recorded a high growth of over 10% with careful assortment planning and merchandising that matched the demand by the consumers at the time.
There was a steady growth in the traditional trade channel, which implies a high degree of confidence among the retailers and a stable rate of demand by the offline shoppers. In the operational level, the company’s EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) before exceptional items rose to 2.23 times the same quarter of the same year, which also showed the enhanced margins and the effective manufacturing process.
The Managing Director, Deepak Chhabra of the Timex Group India Limited, observed that the quarterly performance has been a direct indication of the large-scale implementation of the company and the strategy. He underlined that the Indian watch market is in the midst of an apparent transition to premiumization, with still plenty of room to grow in what is still a large and underserved market.
The firm has recently ventured into areas with a tie-up with quick-commerce platform Zepto in a bid to bring craftsmanship and style to the urban and emerging markets and to deliver it in minutes. This is in line with the broader objective of accessing consumers in the place where they shop, and this is swift, convenient and accessible.

Through an effective emphasis on growth of the premium brand with the solid presence of the omnichannel and the enhanced efficiency of the operations, the company has been able to increase its profit before tax three times.
