Kerala-based Kalyan Jewellers is rolling out three showrooms in Mumbai's three major jewellery selling hubs - Borivli, Thane and Vashi - on March 24 to foray its entry in India's financial capital.

This is in continuation of the company's expansion in western India where it started with setting up showrooms in Gujarat in September 2012. With its entry into Mumbai, the expansion for the financial year 2012-13 would virtually be completed. The three jewellery showrooms with over 60 per cent of ornaments with exclusive craftsmanship would be inaugurated jointly by the bollywood superstars Amitabh Bachchan and his daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

"We chalked out an investment of Rs 1000 crore for the financial year 2012-13 to roll out our business outside the south Indian market through 15 new showrooms. We are going go set up another 20 showrooms in 2013-14 with an investment of Rs 1300 crore.
