October 14, 2025, Mumbai — With its shares rising by almost 48% on the first day of trading, LG Electronics India Ltd. had a strong launch into the Indian equities market, making it one of the year’s most dramatic stock market debuts.
The shares closed at ₹1,682.80 after opening at ₹1,710 on the NSE, which was much higher than its IPO issue price of ₹1,140. This remarkable first-day gain put the business among the best-performing large-cap IPOs in Indian history.
A Historic Market Debut
During the subscription period, the ₹13,000-crore IPO of LG Electronics India attracted a lot of investor attention and was already being touted as a historic issue. With bids totaling ₹4.43 trillion (about $50 billion), the sale was oversubscribed 54 times, making it one of the most sought-after billion-dollar initial public offerings in almost 20 years.
The fervor of investors resulted in an outstanding listing performance, as trading volumes on the NSE alone surpassed ₹12,000 crore. Throughout the day, the stock fluctuated between ₹1,650 and ₹1,749 before leveling off at ₹1,683.
A rare and significant milestone demonstrating India’s increasing importance in international capital markets, LG Electronics India’s market capitalization reached ₹1.14 trillion with its debut, briefly surpassing the valuation of its South Korean parent firm.

Market analysts also highlight government incentives under the PLI (Production Linked Incentive) and “Make in India” programs, which are bolstering the nation’s manufacturing sector and increasing investor confidence in consumer durables.
“LG Electronics India boasts great profit margins, a reliable brand image, and a robust distribution network. A senior analyst at Motilal Oswal Financial Services stated, “Investor confidence in the company’s long-term growth potential is reflected in its valuation premium.”
