The initial public offering (IPO) for LG Electronics India Ltd. has created a significant buzz on Dalal Street, attracting an extraordinary amount of investment. The IPO raised ₹11,607 crore and received bids totaling ₹4.4 trillion, surpassing the previous record held by Bajaj Housing Finance.

The issue, an entirely offer-for-sale of shares by the promoter, ran from October 7th to 9th. The price band was set between ₹1,080 and ₹1,140 per share, with a lot size of 13 shares. The final subscription rate was an impressive 54.02 times, demonstrating considerable investor interest in the appliance major.

According to data from the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), investors placed bids for 3,853.46 million equity shares, exceeding the 71.33 million shares initially offered. A key factor driving this strong response was the Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs), who subscribed to their quota a remarkable 166.51 times. Non-Institutional Investors (NIIs) subscribed at 22.45 times, while Retail Investors showed a more modest 3.55 times subscription rate.

Adding to the positive sentiment was the steady Grey Market Premium (GMP). Unlisted shares of LG Electronics India were trading around ₹1,520 per share, representing a premium of approximately ₹380 – nearly 33% over the higher end of the IPO price band of ₹1,140. This strong GMP suggests a possible healthy listing gain for investors.

The IPO is scheduled to make its stock market debut on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, on both the BSE and the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE). Investors who applied for the IPO can check their allotment status online using official websites. Specifically, they can check the status on the BSE website (www.bseindia.com/investors/appli_check.aspx), the Kfin Technologies website (https://ipostatus.kfintech.com/), or the NSE website (https://www.nseindia.com/products/dynaContent/equities/ipos/ipo_login.jsp).

It’s important to note that Grey Market Premium is an unofficial indicator and shouldn’t be solely relied upon.
