LG Electronics India recently made headlines with its initial public offering (IPO) worth Rs 11,607 crore, which achieved full subscription on its very first day. This overwhelming response from investors highlights the growing confidence in the Indian market, especially in the technology sector. Qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) showed significant interest, bidding for an impressive volume of shares compared to what was on offer.

On the opening day, QIBs placed bids for approximately 99.85 lakh shares against the 2.03 crore shares available. Retail investors also joined the fray, showing robust participation with an 81% subscription rate. This reflects a healthy appetite among individual investors, which is a positive sign for the IPO landscape in India.

In contrast, Tata Capital Ltd launched its Rs 15,512 crore IPO, which saw a 75% subscription on its second day. The steady demand from institutional investors is noteworthy; they subscribed to 86% of the offered shares. Such interest signals that investors are keen on diversifying their portfolios amid the current economic climate.

Retail participation in Tata Capital’s IPO was also noteworthy, with investors bidding for 11.2 crore shares compared to the 16.61 crore shares available. This resulted in a subscription rate of 67%. Non-institutional investors (NIIs) placed bids for 5.38 crore shares out of the 7.12 crore shares offered, indicating a healthy level of engagement across investor categories.

The price band for LG Electronics India’s shares was set between Rs 1,080 and Rs 1,140. The IPO is open for subscription until October 9, allowing more investors the opportunity to participate. On the other hand, Tata Capital's IPO will close for subscription on October 8. Both IPOs are significant indicators of market sentiment and investor confidence in India's growing economy.
