LG Electronics IPO Day 3: GMP, Subscription Status, Allotment Date and Market Buzz

The initial public offering (IPO) of LG Electronics India has entered its third and final day of bidding, drawing strong interest from both institutional and retail investors.

The issue, which opened for subscription on October 7, 2025, saw bids more than thrice the shares on offer by early afternoon on Tuesday.

The IPO, valued at Rs 11,607 crore, is entirely an offer-for-sale (OFS) by its South Korea-based parent, LG Electronics Inc., allowing the global major to partially divest its Indian stake without issuing any new equity.

Strong Investor Response on Final Day

As of Thursday morning, the LG Electronics IPO has been subscribed 3.7 times overall, with the retail category oversubscribed nearly 5 times and qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) showing strong participation after a cautious start. Non-institutional investors (NIIs) have subscribed around 2.8 times their quota, reflecting growing confidence in the company’s long-term prospects.

Grey Market Premium Indicates Listing Gains

LG Electronics India’s IPO continued to attract strong investor interest, with the grey market premium (GMP) quoted at Rs 325 as of 2:00 PM on October 9, 2025, according to a leading market tracking website. Based on the upper price band of Rs 1,140 per share, the stock is expected to list around Rs 1,465, indicating a potential listing gain of approximately 28.5 percent, as per the same website.
