Risks<\/h2>\n<div class=\"pencraft pc-display-flex pc-alignItems-center pc-position-absolute pc-reset header-anchor-parent\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>Gold price risk without a hedge:\u00a0<\/strong>The average price of gold rose from \u20b96062 per gram in FY24 to \u20b911,600 in FY26, ~91% in two years. Most Indian jewellers manage this swing using gold metal loans, forward contracts or options. Lalithaa uses none of these. It buys gold on invoice and carries the price risk itself, relying on fast inventory turnover to limit the damage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Geographic concentration:\u00a0<\/strong>Tamil Nadu alone accounted for 54% of FY26 revenue, and Lalithaa majorly deals in South India. A geographic downturn, whether from weather, local politics, or a shift in regional gold-buying habits, will hit Lalithaa harder than a jeweller with a national footprint like its peers.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"header-anchor-post\" class=\"header-anchor-post\" id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<div class=\"pencraft pc-display-flex pc-alignItems-center pc-position-absolute pc-reset header-anchor-parent\"><\/div>\n<p>Lalithaa Jewellery Mart sells jewellery to the price-conscious South Indian, and offers a range of savings schemes to bring in cash ahead of the sale. Its revenue has compounded at ~22% a year, and its profit at 68%. Set against that, all of its stores sit in one region, and none of its gold price risk is hedged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lalithaa Jewellery Mart is going for an IPO after a stalled roadshow since last year.
