A Surge Like No Other: LG Electronics IPO Grabs Headlines

If ever you wondered which IPO would steal the limelight in 2025 — here’s your answer. The LG Electronics IPO has broken records. On the final subscription day, this issue saw bids worth a staggering ₹4.4 lakh crore— making it one of the most subscribed IPOs ever in India.

Now, investors everywhere are glued to the screens, waiting for allotment updates and the next big move: listing day.

LG Electronics IPO Allotment Status — How to Check Now

The allotment for LG’s IPO is expected to be finalised today, October 10, 2025.

To check whether you’ve got shares:

• Use BSE’s IPO allotment page → pick “LG Electronics India Ltd.” → enter your PAN or application number.
• Use NSE’s IPO allotment page → choose “Equity & SME IPO bids,” select “LGEINDIA,” input PAN / application number.
• Visit the registrar’s portal (KFin Technologies / KFinTech IPO status page) → choose LG IPO, enter either PAN, Demat account, or application number. Submit captcha.

If allotment fails, refunds are typically processed before listing day.

Pro tip: Refresh after some time—allocation pages often take a while to update once the allotment logic is finalised.

Record Subscriptions + GMP Buzz = Why the Hype

Why is everyone watching this IPO so closely? Let’s look at the numbers and market signals.

• The IPO was subscribed 54.02 times in total.
• Among categories: QIBs saw 166.5× demand; NIIs 22×; Retail 3.5×.
• Price band was ₹1,080 to ₹1,140 per share.
• GMP (Grey Market Premium) has surged. It has crossed ₹380 in recent reports, implying estimated listing gains of ~30-35 %.
• Based on GMP, some expect the listing price near ₹1,500+ (versus IPO cap price ₹1,140).

This kind of frenzy is rare. For perspective: the IPO demand exceeded that of many large issues in recent years.

What’s Driving Investor Excitement?

Let me break it down — there’s more than hype here.

1. Undervalued versus peers

Despite being a leader in appliances and consumer electronics, LG India is listing at around 35× FY25 earnings, which is significantly lower than peers that trade at ~60× multiples.

2. Massive scale & network

LG India boasts a strong footprint:

• Manufacturing plants in Noida, Pune, and expansion underway in Sri City (Andhra Pradesh) with investment of $600 million.
• Wide distribution network (tens of thousands of touchpoints), large technical team, after-sales service strength.

3. Market timing & sentiment

2025 has seen renewed appetite in the IPO space. The LG issue is part of a bigger wave — e.g., Tata Capital and others launching soon.
Also, some argue that the “₹10,000-crore IPO curse” may be loosening — past massive IPOs often disappointed. LG is being viewed as a test case.

Risks You Shouldn’t Ignore

I’m excited about this, but I’m also cautious — here are red flags:

• The IPO is 100 % Offer for Sale (OFS). That means LG India gets no fresh capital; the selling goes to existing shareholders/promoters. That restricts capex flexibility.
• GMP is unofficial. It’s shaped by sentiment and can overshoot. What you see in grey market today might not reflect listing outcome.
• Some governance concerns flagged: InGovern Research has raised alarms about ~₹4,717 cr in potential tax and royalty liabilities.
• The Economic Times reported that Promoter (LG, South Korea) is retaining ~85 % stake even after listing. Minority investor influence will be limited.

So yes, there’s opportunity — but also risk.

What I Personally Think — Is It Worth It?

As someone who watches IPOs for fun and for returns, this one feels different.

The demand is real, not just noise. Getting bids of ₹4.4 lakh crore is eye-catching. The numbers suggest people believe in India’s consumer story, and in LG’s balance sheet.

But in my view, because this is an OFS, the long-term growth story depends heavily on how well LG reinvests in India down the road. If they keep investing smartly — in manufacturing, R&D, distribution — then this could well turn into a blue-chip holding. If not, it could just be a great listing pop and then sideways.

If I were investing, I’d allocate a modest amount now and see listing performance. If the IPO lists strong, I might hold for 6–12 months rather than jumping in for the short term only.

What Next? Timeline to Watch

Once shares hit exchange, watch the opening price, volume, and market reaction. Because that’ll tell whether the market was right or just excited.

Conclusion: A Defining IPO Moment

In 2025, the LG Electronics India IPO isn’t just another listing — it’s a statement. It shows that when pricing is fair, scale is real, and sentiment is back, even big issues can succeed.

Will it deliver for investors beyond the listing day? That depends on execution, regulation, and whether the hype translates into sustained growth.

My take: this is worth riding — carefully. If you get allotment, hold and watch. If not, don’t beat yourself up — there’ll be more waves to catch.
