LG Electronics India made a stellar debut on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) today, with shares listing at a 50% premium over the IPO price. The IPO, which closed on October 9, 2025, saw immense investor interest and was oversubscribed by 54.02 times.

The initial public offering (IPO) aimed to raise ₹11,607 crore through an offer for sale of 10.18 crore equity shares by LG Electronics Inc. With no fresh issue component, the proceeds will go to the selling shareholders. The company set the price band between ₹1,080 and ₹1,140 per share, valuing itself at around ₹77,400 crore at the upper end.

On the BSE, the shares opened at ₹1,715, a 50.44% increase from the IPO issue price of ₹1,140. Similarly, on the NSE, the shares debuted at ₹1,710.10, reflecting a 50.1% premium. The listing was highly anticipated, with the IPO being the second-most subscribed issue ever, following Reliance Power's 2008 offering, among IPOs raising over ₹10,000 crore.

Prior to the listing, the Grey Market Premium (GMP) for LG Electronics India stood at ₹360 on Monday, a 31.6% premium over the IPO price. However, this was a decline from Friday's GMP of ₹395.

The IPO attracted strong interest from qualified institutional buyers (QIBs), with the category being subscribed 166.51 times. Non-institutional investors (NIIs) subscribed 22.44 times, while retail individual investors (RIIs) subscribed 3.54 times. The strong demand led to bids worth ₹4.39 lakh crore.

Market analysts attribute the successful listing to LG's strong brand equity, consistent profitability, and leadership in premium product segments. The company's ability to capitalize on India's rising disposable income and the increasing demand for premium consumer durables in tier-2 and tier-3 cities has also contributed to its growth.

In FY25, LG Electronics India reported robust financial performance, with a 14% year-on-year increase in revenue to ₹24,631 crore and a 46% surge in profit after tax to ₹2,203 crore. The company maintained an EBITDA margin of 12.8% and a PAT margin of 9%, remaining debt-free with a return on capital employed (ROCE) of 43% and a return on equity (ROE) of 37%.

Following the listing, market experts have advised investors to take a balanced approach, suggesting booking partial profits to secure immediate gains while retaining a portion of shares to benefit from the company's long-term growth potential. A stop-loss near ₹1,400 is recommended to protect against market volatility.

LG Electronics India has been operating since 1997 and is a major player in the consumer electronics and home appliances market. The company offers a wide range of products, including TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners. It has two manufacturing units, two central distribution centers, 23 regional distribution centers, and 51 branch offices.

The stock is listed under the symbol 'LGEINDIA' on both the NSE and BSE.
