The issue, valued at Rs 1,700 crore, has already attracted a 15% premium in the grey market, signaling strong investor interest. Lalithaa Jewellery Mart, a Chennai-based jewellery retailer, has fixed the IPO price band at Rs 190–Rs 201 per share.

With strong financial performance in FY26, including a 48% increase in income and 177% surge in profit after tax, analysts consider the IPO a potential long-term investment opportunity.",
