Upcoming IPO: LG Electronics India Ltd, a subsidiary of the South Korean company Chaebol LG, has received approval from the capital markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for its ₹15,000 crore initial public offering (IPO). According to news agency PTI, LG Electronics India Ltd has received SEBI's approval to float its IPO soon.
LG Electronics India Ltd. will be the second South Korean company listed on the Indian stock market, following Hyundai Motors India's listing in October 2024. In December, LG Electronics India filed its preliminary draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with SEBI for an IPO in which the parent company will sell over 10.18 crore shares, amounting to a 15 per cent stake.
According to PTI, LG Electronics India Ltd did not disclose the total issue size, but they said the pegged IPO size is ₹15,000 crore. Since the public issue is completely an offer for sale(OFS), LG Electronics India will not receive any IPO proceeds. The funds raised will go to the South Korean parent.
Morgan Stanley India, J P Morgan India, Axis Capital, BofA Securities India, and Citigroup Global Markets India are the book-running lead managers for the issue. Last month, LG Electronics started roadshows for the upcoming IPO of its Indian unit.
