Augmont Enterprises Limited (formerly known as RSBL Spot Trading Private Limited) operates as a leading, integrated gold and silver platform in India. The company provides physical bullion trading, refining, digital gold, and jewelry manufacturing. Over the years, the company has structured a unique business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) model. This model brings together physical infrastructure and digital distribution platforms to create a highly scalable, asset-light precious metals ecosystem. The core value proposition of Augmont lies in its ability to offer a fully integrated value chain. This spans from bulk procurement and state-of-the-art refining to B2B electronic trading, retail digital ownership, and consumer monetization services.
The company's primary business segments consist of Enterprise and International Sales and Consumer-Focused Offerings. For its enterprise business, Augmont operates its proprietary "Augmont SPOT" platform. This platform is a fully electronic, delivery-based over-the-counter (OTC) bullion platform. It enables businesses to trade physical gold and silve
r online with guaranteed delivery. As of March 31, 2026, the SPOT platform had over 5,223 registered members, primarily jewellers, bullion dealers, and manufacturers. The consumer vertical, powered by "Augmont Gold For All", serves 49.62 million retail consumers directly and through 218 digital gold partner. This platform enables micro-investments in digital precious metals starting as low as Rs 1. It also supports SIPs, fractional gold savings, gold-backed digital lending (Gold Loan Tech), and scrap recycling services ("Sell Old Gold").
Geographically, Augmont has established a vast, pan-India footprint with a presence across 24 states as of March 31, 2026. To deliver the physical gold and silver traded on the SPOT platform, the company relies on a network of 20 spot delivery centers across 13 states. Nine of these centers are operated directly, while 11 are managed through franchise arrangements. In terms of regional revenue generation, Maharashtra remains the company's largest market. It accounted for 63.24% (Rs 516,975.26 million) of the total revenue generated on the Augmont SPOT platform in Fiscal 2026. Other major regional contributors include Gujarat (12.57%), Tamil Nadu (6.94%), and Uttar Pradesh (4.24%). For its consumer offerings, the company maintains 106 Gold-For-All centers primarily located across the southern states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. These centers are operated in partnership with its promoter-owned group entity, Finkurve Financial Services Limited.
To support its massive distribution scale, the company operates two modern gold and silver refining units. One is located in Rudrapur, Uttarakhand (with an installed capacity of 144 MTPA as of March 31, 2026). The other is located in Mumbai, Maharashtra (with an installed capacity of 140 MTPA as of March 31, 2026). This provides a combined domestic refining capacity of 284 tonnes per annum. For Fiscal 2026, the Rudrapur facility had an annual actual production of 1.34 MT. This translated to a capacity utilization of 0.93% (down from 3.14% in FY25 and 8.58% in FY24). The Mumbai facility recorded an actual production of 11.95 MT in Fiscal 2026. This represented a capacity utilization of 8.53% (compared to 7.54% in FY25 and 1.88% in FY24). These utilization levels are deliberately kept flexible. The company strategically shifts between refining imported doré bars and purchasing pure gold bars on the open market, prioritizing whichever provides higher gross margins. Additionally, the company manufactures gold jewelry articles, primarily chains, for export. This is done at its specialized unit in the Sitapur SEZ, Jaipur, Rajasthan. This facility has an installed capacity of 13.80 MTPA. It operated at an actual production of 6.50 MT in Fiscal 2026, representing a capacity utilization of 47.07%.
The company's primary competitive advantage is built upon robust in-house technology and R&D capabilities. It is led by a dedicated tech team of 40 personnel as of March 31, 2026. Augmont has engineered a state-of-the-art, technology-driven price discovery mechanism. This mechanism integrates live market feeds with custom algorithms to calculate and disseminate competitive, real-time spot bullion prices. These prices update every second, completely bypassing any brokerage or terminal fees for platform users. Augmont’s refineries are backed by advanced testing laboratories. They are accredited by the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) under ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and hold official hallmarking licenses from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The refining processes are certified under the stringent India Good Delivery standards. This makes Augmont one of the very few elite refiners authorized to deliver physical bullion directly onto domestic commodity exchanges like the BSE and MCX. The company and its subsidiaries are also certified under the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) T-2 category by the Ministry of Finance. This certification grants them operational privileges such as priority customs scanning and deferred duty payments.
As per financial performance, Augmont Enterprises Limited has posted total income / net profits of Rs 34,948.90 Cr / Rs 75.97 Cr (FY24), Rs 66,252.05 Cr / Rs 227.18 Cr (FY25) and Rs 94,282.47 Cr / Rs 348.30 Cr (FY26).

Company has an average EPS of Rs 25.47 (weighted average of Rs 30.70) and average RoNW of 54.32% (weighted average of 55.25%) for the last three fiscals.
