The ornaments are also made to order according to the specific requirements by the customer. TJL has continuously increased its market share to 15 per cent currently in the sale of gold and diamond jewellery in the city of Madurai and surroundings. The strategy of TJL is to focus on Tamil Nadu and tapping the rural population. TJL plans to take the total number of retail showrooms to 9 by 2010-11 and 15 by 2011-12 with a capex of Rs18-20 crore to be funded via internal accruals and IPO proceeds. There is a shift in the jewellery market from the unorganised to the organised players, which will benefit the company. The expenditure incurred towards Hallmarking as well as the promotional efforts is likely to add further brand value. Maintain buy.</description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&amp;autono=422197</guid><pubDate>Tue, 18 Jan 2011 18:58:54 GMT</pubDate><feedburner:origLink>http://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&amp;autono=422197</feedburner:origLink></item><item><title>Today's picks</title><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Business-Standard-Markets-Investing-Features/~3/vf4e7PUXTVc/storypage_c.php</link><description>The rise yesterday appeared to be driven by short-covering and profit booking.
