IPO of LIC
LIC’s IPO closed on May 9 and shares were awarded to bidders on May 12. The government has sold over 22.13 crores of shares or a 3.5% stake in LIC through the IPO.
The price range of the issue was Rs 902-949 per share. However, the shares were allocated to investors on May 12 at the upper end of the price range.
LIC’s IPO – the largest to date in India – closed with almost 3x subscription, mostly from retail and institutional buyers, but participation from overseas investors remained subdued.
LIC had last month cut the size of its IPO to 3.5% from the 5% decided earlier due to choppy market conditions. Even after the reduced size of over Rs 20,557 crore, LIC’s IPO is the largest initial public offering ever in the country.
Prior to LIC’s IPO, the amount raised from Paytm’s IPO in 2021 was the largest ever at Rs 18,300 crore, followed by Coal India (2010) at almost Rs 15,500 crore and Reliance Power (2008) at Rs 11,700 crore.
