However, sources said that if the IPO does not come in March, the last week of April or the first week of May may come. Roadshow completed after DRHP.

DRHP received approval on 13 February

SEBI approved the draft document (DRHP) filed by LIC on February 13, 2022. This has cleared the way for selling shares. This will help the government raise Rs 60,000 crore to meet its investment target for the current financial year. According to DRHP, under the IPO, the government will sell 316 million equity shares of LIC or its five percent stake in the company. If it does not sell in March, the government will fall short of its revised investment target for the current fiscal year.

It will be the biggest IPO

This public issue of LIC will be the largest IPO in the history of Indian stock market. After that, LIC’s market value will be equal to that of top companies like Reliance and TCS. Through the IPO of Life Insurance Corporation (LIC), the government aims to raise more than Rs 60,000 crore in the current financial year to meet its revised investment target of Rs 78,000 crore.
