Lalithaa Jewellery to restart roadshows for stalled ₹1,700-cr IPO within 1-2 months
Chennai-based gold retailer revives IPO plans after governance and promoter-fee concerns stalled the issue. Refiling will update FY25 numbers (revenue ₹16,901 cr, profit base of ₹360 cr in FY24). H1FY26 revenue already at ₹11,316 cr signals momentum, but ₹600 cr legal overhang and ₹1,000 cr tax demand cloud appetite test for organized gold retail.
Chennai-based Lalithaa Jewellery plans to restart roadshows for its stalled ₹1,700-crore IPO in 1-2 months, after governance and promoter-fee concerns paused the issue. Refiling will update FY25 numbers; tests investor appetite in organized gold retail.
Why this matters
Revival follows an earlier pause tied to governance and promoter-fee concerns. Strong H1FY26 revenue tests whether organized gold retail can absorb a large IPO despite legal and tax overhangs.
