Lalithaa Jewellery, one of the largest jewellery retailers in India, is gearing up to enter the primary market. With a strong presence in key gold consumption hubs across the country, Lalithaa Jewellery aims to raise Rs 1,400-1,600 crore through its upcoming IPO. The IPO DRHP is anticipated to be filed by the end of March 2024.
