LG IPO debuts on bourses at ₹1710: A listing That Got Everyone Talking
The buzz was real — LG Electronics India hit the stock markets on October 14,2025 And, surely it did not disappoint. The listing was one of those “refresh your screen twice” moments for investors, as LG’s shares opened a solid 50% above the issue price, listing at ₹1710/share. For a company that’s been a household name for decades, this was a grand market re-entry — and one that turned plenty of heads on Dalal Street.
So, What Was the Hype About?
When LG announced its IPO, the price band was set between ₹1,080 and ₹1,140 per share. It wasn’t a fundraising exercise — the issue was purely an Offer for Sale (OFS), meaning the money went to existing shareholders selling part of their stake.
Even then, investors rushed in. The IPO was heavily oversubscribed, thanks to LG's rock-solid reputation and its dominance in the consumer electronics space. Everyone from institutional investors to retail buyers wanted a slice of the brand that’s been powering Indian living rooms and kitchens for years.
The Big Day: LG’s Listing Price
When trading kicked off, LG listed at ₹1,710 on the NSE — a cool ₹570 jump over the upper issue price. That’s nearly a 50% premium on day one!
The strong debut wasn’t just luck. LG ticked all the boxes — a trusted brand, profitable business, and a confident long-term outlook. Plus, the company’s focus on localisation and connected home tech gave investors a lot to look forward to.
Why Investors Can't Stop Smiling
There were a few clear reasons behind LG’s blockbuster debut:
That Brand Power – Let’s be honest, LG doesn’t need an introduction. The trust built over decades made investors comfortable paying a premium.
Solid Fundamentals – Profits, strong cash flow, and a wide product range made it a safer bet than many new-age listings.
Limited Supply, High Demand – Since this was an OFS, no new shares hit the market. With more buyers than sellers, the price naturally soared.
How It Stacks Up Against Other Big IPOs
To get some perspective, let’s see how LG IPO debut compares with other recent heavyweights like Urban Company and NSDL.
| Company | Issue Price | Listing Price | Listing Gain | What Happened |
|---|---|---|---|---|
LG Electronics India | ₹1,140 | ₹1,710 | ~50% | Solid debut driven by brand trust and strong demand. |
Urban Company | ₹103 | ₹162.25 | ~57.5% | Tech platform darling with massive investor buzz. |
NSDL | ₹800 | ₹880 | ~10% | A steady but subdued start for a financial giant. |
Urban Company stole the show with the biggest percentage gain. Meanwhile, NSDL’s modest debut, was more in line with expectations for a conservative financial infrastructure firm. But LG’s 50% pop was nothing short of remarkable — especially for a legacy player in manufacturing.
Together, these listings show how different sectors are driving India’s IPO story — tech and consumer brands bringing excitement, while financials bring stability.
How much did investors make per lot?
Investors who received the LG Electronics allotment made a total of ₹22,231.3 per lot.
Why did LG electronics share decline after listing at 50% premium?
Share prices of LG Electronics declined almost immediately after listing. While no specific reasons can be attributed to the fall, possible reasons for the same are listed below Many investors apply for IPOs hoping for a listing gain. Once the share prices soar after the listing, shareholders immediately book profits triggering a slight decline in share prices. A 50% jump in one day is a rare occurrence. After such a high, a small decline is inevitable as the market recalibrates.
Wrapping It Up
What a debut! LG Electronics India made a grand entrance with that 50% jump — the kind that gets everyone talking. But after the initial buzz, the stock did see a bit of cooling off. Honestly, that’s pretty normal. When a stock soars like that, a little profit booking is bound to happen as early investors cash in their gains.
It doesn’t take away from the bigger story though — LG’s solid fundamentals and brand trust are still very much intact. This debut wasn’t just about numbers; it was about confidence. A reminder that even in a market full of flashy tech names, good old reliability still wins hearts (and headlines).
So yes, the price might have taken a breather — but the listing? Still a blockbuster.
