They are setting up 30 stand-alone stores for 'Nirvana' brands in 10 major towns in the next three years and increasing the manufacturing capacities to supply to these retail outlets. The capex is estimated at Rs 1150.000 millions Fine Jewellery's Director, Sohil Kothari, said.    

    

The company proposes to raise $25 million through private equity in the next six months. It is also considering raising funds through an initial public offer (IPO), Kothari said.
