Company Financials and Valuations
The company has shown robust financial growth over the past few years. Revenue rose from Rs 679 crore in FY23 to Rs 1,106 crore in FY25, while net profit surged from Rs 19.8 crore to Rs 55.8 crore during the same period, reflecting a strong CAGR of 68%.
EBITDA margins have expanded steadily to 8.83%, and the return on equity (RoE) stood at a healthy 44.85% in FY25. The IPO values the company at a post-issue P/E of 19x, which is at a discount to the industry average of 23x. However, the price-to-book valuation at 7x appears slightly stretched compared to listed peers.
Should you subscribe to Shanti Gold IPO?
Brokerages have recommended subscribing to the issue, citing strong financials, margin expansion, and a clear strategy to diversify its product mix and regional footprint.
"The company's robust relationships with marquee jewellers, expanding design capabilities (over 400 designs/month), and controlled in-house manufacturing give it scale and brand trust in the B2B jewellery segment," said Canara Bank Securities.
While risks such as customer and regional concentration exist, the growth momentum and business fundamentals remain attractive.

Mohali mayor slams state govt, MLA over crippling finances, demands urgent relief
Mayor Amarjit Singh Jeeti Sidhu has launched a political attack on the Punjab government and local MLA Kulwant Singh, holding them responsible for the dire financial crisis facing the corporation. Despite the worsening economic condition of the civic body, Sidhu alleged that funds due to the Municipal Corporation from various government departments are being deliberately withheld. 'Over Rs 50 crore is pending from GMADA and PSPCL, and another Rs 7 crore in property tax arrears is stuck with different departments,' the mayor told The Indian Express. The mayor stated, 'We are struggling to even pay salaries to employees at times. Tenders for development projects get delayed, and payments for completed works are stuck.' Recalling better days, Sidhu noted, 'When Mohali was a council, it was classified as A-grade, whereas Kharar and Zirakpur were B and C-grade, respectively. But now, despite Mohali becoming a Municipal Corporation, those councils continue to function independently and are financially healthier.' He said that Kharar currently holds over Rs 400 crore, and Zirakpur has nearly Rs 700 crore in funds, while the Mohali MC is left cash-strapped. 'In Kharar and Zirakpur, property-related services like map approvals, transfers, and NOCs are still handled by their respective councils, which also collect the associated fees. But in Mohali, all these services are handled by GMADA, which sells land worth crores but doesn't even release the corporation's rightful share.' The mayor pointed out that GMADA alone owes the Mohali MC Rs 32 crore. Raising concerns over the deteriorating infrastructure, Sidhu warned, 'Mohali is facing multiple issues, the most critical being stormwater drainage. Solving this will require over Rs 200 crore.' He mentioned that he had written several letters to officials and even the Chief Minister, yet no action has been taken, nor has any special grant been issued for Mohali. 'For development works alone, Mohali needs a grant of at least Rs 500 crore,' he asserted. Sidhu said, 'If urgent steps are not taken to address Mohali's pressing problems, the city's condition will worsen drastically and for that, the Punjab government will be fully responsible.'
