Terming the rollout of the goods and services tax (GST) as a very major structural change, the company said it has resulted in a major "disruption" for unorganised players in all the sectors of the economy.
However, its impact is seen to be higher on the jewellery sector because of the much bigger percentage of the unorganised segment in this industry, it said in the filing.
"Demonetisation and implementation of GST are helping us increase market share as the industry is getting organised," it added.
PC Jewellers Managing Director Balram Garg said: "The company remains very bullish on growth prospects of the organised jewellery retailing in the country and PCJ is well positioned to reap maximum benefits of the same."
The company will strive to increase its market share in coming years, he added.
The stock was trading down by 3.37 per cenin Rs 364.50 on the BSE today.
