Kalyan Jewellers is likely to announce the allotment status of its ₹1,175 initial public offering (IPO) on March 23.

Despite being one of India’s biggest jewellery brands, the offer saw muted demand. Kalyan Jewellers IPO was subscribed to 2.61 times after the bidding process closed on March 18. The Kerala-based company is offering fresh shares worth ₹800 crore and an offer of sale (OFS) worth ₹375 crore.

According to Angel Broking analyst Amarjeet Maurya, the lacklustre interest in Kalyan Jewellers is a result of its recent financial results failing to impress investors, especially in comparison to its main competitor — Titan. Concerns were further compounded by uncertainty around the demand for gold given the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nonetheless, Kalyan’s hyperlocal strategy has earned it a strong and widespread brand presence across the country. Before the IPO opened up to the public, the Warburg Pincus-backed jewellery bigwig raised nearly ₹352 crore from 15 anchor investors including the Government of Singapore, Monetary Authority of Singapore, HDFC Life Insurance and BNP Paribas Arbitrage.

The funds will be used for Kalyan’s working capital requirements and general corporate purpose.
