The book-building issue valued at ₹11,607 crore (approximately $1.3 billion) offers 10.18 crore shares priced between ₹1,080 and ₹1,140 each. The strong response from investors across categories highlights confidence in LG India’s growth prospects, robust financials, and market leadership in consumer durables such as televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners.
This IPO subscription frenzy positions LG Electronics India among the largest public offerings registered in 2025.
