Sri Lotus Developers IPO Review
Rajan Shinde, Research Analyst of Mehta Equities Ltd stated that Sri Lotus Developers and Realty IPO offers investors an opportunity to invest in a Mumbai-based real estate developer focused on the high-growth ultra-luxury and luxury housing segment, with a strong presence in redevelopment projects.

The company operates on an asset-light model, which contributes to a robust balance sheet and a net debt-free position.
