Godrej Security Bets on Rising Gold Prices, Targets Growth in Kerala

With gold prices soaring in recent years, Godrej Security Solutions sees a golden opportunity. The company is focusing on Kerala, where gold buying remains strong, especially during the festive Onam season. Rising gold rates have increased the risk of storing valuables, and people are turning to safe lockers more than ever.

Pushkar Gokhale, Business Head of Security Solutions at Godrej Enterprises Group, has shared with the Hindu Bussinessline that the company currently holds a 15–18% market share in various regions. It is now aiming for a 20% growth in Kerala, driven by both demand and expanding jewellery retail.

Kerala: A Key Market for Godrej Solutions

Kerala and Tamil Nadu are the biggest markets for Godrej Security Solutions. The company caters to both business (B2B) and individual (B2C) customers, especially banks, NBFCs, and jewellers. Gokhale shared that the company is aiming for a 20% rise in B2B and a 25% increase in B2C sales in these regions.

In Kerala alone, Godrej hopes to capture over 80% of the home locker market and 65% of the institutional locker market. The company, which is in the business of risk mitigation, believes that as risks increase, so does the need for reliable safety products.

Revenue Targets and Expansion Plans

Godrej Security generated ₹1,200 crore in revenue last year and has set a target of ₹1,500 crore over the next two years. Kerala is playing a major role in this growth, contributing significantly to revenue in the southern region.

To support this growth, the company is expanding its retail presence and improving customer outreach during the festive season.
