The details
- Online-first jewellery retailer BlueStone listed on the NSE and BSE in August 2025 after raising Rs 1,540 crore through a public share sale.
- The initial public offering included Rs 693 crore secured from anchor investors with an issue price set at Rs 517 per share.

- The profitability milestone was driven by maturing retail stores and disciplined cost management across its manufacturing and distribution network.
