LG Electronics India IPO opens October 7: ₹11,607 crore offer for sale draws investor buzz

Nothing 33

LG Electronics India Limited is set to launch its highly anticipated initial public offering (IPO) next week, marking one of the largest consumer electronics listings in Indian market history. The ₹11,607.01 crore issue will open for subscription on October 7, 2025, and close on October 9, 2025. With a strong brand legacy, robust financials, and wide distribution footprint, the IPO is expected to attract significant interest across retail, institutional, and foreign investor categories.

The IPO is structured entirely as an Offer for Sale (OFS) of 10.18 crore equity shares by the South Korean parent company LG Electronics Inc. The proceeds will not go to the Indian entity but to the selling shareholder, making this a strategic listing move rather than a capital-raising exercise.

Between FY24 and FY25, LG Electronics India reported a 14% increase in revenue and a 46% rise in profit after tax (PAT), reflecting strong demand and operational efficiency.

The IPO comes amid a wave of large listings in 2025, including Tata Capital’s ₹15,500 crore issue and HDB Financial Services’ ₹12,500 crore offering. LG’s IPO ranks third in size and is expected to benefit from strong retail participation due to its household brand status.

Market experts believe the listing will enhance transparency, improve governance, and unlock value for the parent company. While the Indian entity will not receive fresh capital, the listing will allow investors to participate in the growth of a company with deep roots and rising profitability.
