At least 10 Indian jewellery firms file IPO papers amid rising demand
At least 10 mid-sized Indian jewellery firms have filed IPO papers in the past two months to seek money from public investors.
Seven are business-to-business manufacturers that make gold chains and fine jewellery for retailers, large companies and wholesalers.
Rising gold prices have lifted selling prices, while processing costs stayed relatively stable, helping drive revenue growth at several firms.
The companies need funds to finance inventory and business expansion, including growth in smaller cities.
Eight jewellery companies raised about ₹3,547 crore through public listings between January and October, with Lalithaa Jewellery Mart raising ₹1,700 crore.
The rush reflects strong investor interest in organised jewellery businesses as the sector shifts from unorganised sellers towards branded firms.
Higher import duties or other steps to limit gold imports could make jewellery less affordable and slow demand in the short term.
At least 10 mid-sized Indian jewellery companies filed initial papers with SEBI in the last two months to seek public listings.

What people are saying
This trend of companies going public can also be seen as a part of the formalisation of gold jewellery business in India
the sudden rush of jewellery companies to tap the IPO market reflects strong investor interest in organised jewellery sector, supported by rising incomes, premiumisation and a gradual shift from unorganised to branded players
However, government efforts to curb gold imports through higher import duties and other measures could impact affordability and moderate demand in the short term
