Bluestone, a jewellery brand, is in talks to negotiate an investment of around Rs 830 crore from Peak XV Partners, Steadview Capital, and Think Investments.
The pre-IPO round will combine share sales by early investors with new capital, aiming to value the omnichannel retailer at approximately Rs 7,500 crore ($900 million) before the infusion, as per the report.
Venture capital firm Peak XV Partners will reportedly invest around Rs 415 crore in the round. A source speaking to the Economic Times said, “Peak XV is in talks to lead the funding amid a wider inclination for venture funds to tap domestic brands and offline retailers.”
Further, some family offices via special-purpose vehicles might also reportedly participate in the round. The round is expected to be closed in the next few days.
In September 2023, Bluestone raised $65 million from a group of investors at a valuation of $410 million.

MCX Gold, Silver Edge Higher, Comex Gold Moves To $23.30 To Reach $4,113.80/oz
The Uptick Reflects Cautious Optimism Among Global Traders Following Diplomatic Signals That Washington and Tehran May Be Nearing A Resolution Regarding Key Maritime Passages
Gold and silver prices pushed higher Tuesday as commodity investors calibrated market expectations around U.S.-Iran diplomatic discussions and the prospect of reopening the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
On the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, gold futures rose $23.30, or 0.6%, to trade near $4,113.80 per ounce. Silver futures picked up $1.03 to settle near $58.88 per ounce.
The momentum spilled into Asian markets. On India’s Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), benchmark October gold contracts climbed Rs 644 from the previous close to open at Rs 1,43,559 per 10 grams, eventually rising to Rs 1,43,607 per 10 grams during morning trade. September silver contracts on the exchange gained momentum as well, advancing Rs 2,404 to reach Rs 2,19,150 per kilogram.
In global trading on the Comex, gold rose $23.30 to reach $4,113.80 per ounce, while silver advanced $1.03 to $58.88 per ounce. Domestically on India’s MCX exchange, October gold contracts gained Rs 692 to trade at Rs 1,43,607 per 10 grams, while September silver contracts climbed Rs 2,404 to Rs 2,19,150 per kilogram.
The uptick reflects cautious optimism among global traders following diplomatic signals that Washington and Tehran may be nearing a resolution regarding key maritime passages. A potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz—a crucial transit hub for global commodity transport—has prompted shifts in energy and precious metal risk premiums across international markets.
Despite Tuesday’s modest rebound, both metals continue to trade significantly below their high-water marks for the year. Comex gold previously touched a year-to-date peak of $5,586.20 per ounce, while silver reached $121.79 per ounce during earlier market surges.
