Anchor Investors and Institutional Response
Before the IPO opened, 149 anchor investors collectively invested about ₹3,475 crore. Major participants included Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, and the Government of Singapore. Indian mutual funds such as SBI and HDFC also took part, representing almost half of the anchor allocation.
Grey Market Premium (GMP)
The IPO is currently witnessing strong grey market activity, with shares trading at a ₹228 premium. While this indicates positive sentiment, experts warn that GMPs are speculative and may not always reflect listing-day performance.
Risks and Investment Considerations
• Since it’s an OFS, funds raised will not directly go to the company.
• Market conditions, inflation, and interest rates can impact listing outcomes.
• Grey market trends should not be the sole decision factor for investment.
Conclusion
LG Electronics India IPO is one of the most awaited issues of 2025, supported by robust financials and strong institutional participation. While short-term listing gains look promising, long-term investors should evaluate fundamentals carefully before investing.
