Lalithaa Jewellery Acquires 91% Stake in Malaysian Entity for MYR 7.29M to Expand Globally
Lalithaa Jewellery Mart Limited has acquired a 91% controlling stake in Lalithaa Jewellery (M) SDN. BHD., making it a subsidiary effective October 28, 2026. The company subscribed to 72,89,100 equity shares at par value of MYR 1 each, amounting to an investment of MYR 72,89,100 (approx. ₹13-14 crore). The newly acquired Malaysian subsidiary is engaged in gold, diamond, and silver retailing and wholesaling but has yet to commence operations. This move aligns with Lalithaa's strategy to establish an international retail footprint.
