India's biggest IPO: Govt secures ₹31,552 crore through LIC stake sale
The Indian government successfully generated ₹31,552 crore by offloading a portion of its stake in the Life Insurance Corporation of India, marking the country's biggest public offering to date. This two-day sale attracted significant interest from both retail and institutional buyers, allowing the government to utilize its green shoe option in full. Furthermore, this divestment assists LIC in advancing toward compliance with Sebi's mandate for minimum public shareholding.
