News Topical, Digital Desk : The company, with a market cap of 1 lakh, has seen its stock decline steadily since its listing. From a price of ₹1,749.00, it has fallen to ₹1,501. The stock has lost -5% in one year, while it has gained 8% in five days. However, FIIs and DIIs have increased their stake. DIIs' stake has increased from 4.42% to 7.15%, and FIIs' stake has increased from 2.86% to 3%.
Now let us tell you the news that April 15 is going to be very important because the six-month lock-in on the company's shares is ending.
With this, approximately 441.2 million shares will become available for trading, currently valued at approximately ₹66,180 crore. While this doesn't mean all of these shares will be sold, the opening of such a large supply could certainly put pressure on the stock.
LG Electronics India shares may be in focus in the market on Wednesday as the six-month lock-in period for the company's shares is ending.
This means that a large number of shares that were previously unsold will now become eligible for trading. According to Nuvama Alternative & Quantitative Research, 441.2 million shares of the company, or approximately 65% of the total outstanding equity, will be available for trading from April 15.
Why is the end of the lock-in important? When a company launches an IPO, a lock-in is imposed on the shares of promoters, pre-IPO investors, and some large shareholders for a specified period. The purpose of this is to prevent massive selling immediately after listing. Now, this period is ending for LG Electronics India.
Will all shares be sold in the market? No. It's important to understand that the end of the lock-in does not mean that all shares will be sold immediately. It simply means that these shares are now eligible for sale. However, the market views such events as a risk of increased supply. Therefore, sometimes, the stock comes under pressure after the lock-in expires, even if the actual selling is limited.
How big is this value?
Based on Monday's closing price of ₹1,503.5, the total value of the shares that will open for trading is approximately ₹66,180 crore. This amount is so huge that it is natural for the market to keep an eye on it.
How much stake do promoters hold?
By the end of the December 2025 quarter, the promoters of the company held 85% stake. This is well above the minimum public shareholding rule of 75%. This means that the need to reduce promoter stake in the future could also become a factor for the company.
Who are the remaining shareholders?
As per the shareholding pattern as of December 2025,
Indian mutual funds held 5.4% stake.
Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) held 3% stake.
10.6 lakh small retail investors held 3.6% stake.
The company has not yet released shareholding data for the March quarter.
How did the stock perform?
LG Electronics India shares closed 1.8% higher at ₹1,503.5 on Monday.
Post-listing high: ₹1,749
Current level: 14% below high
but still trading above IPO price
What does this mean for investors?
On Wednesday, investors will be watching to see if promoters/large investors book profits. Will the stock face supply pressure? Or will the market absorb this event easily?
If there is no significant selling, it could be considered a positive sign for the stock. However, if the selling pressure comes with heavy volume, volatility could increase in the short term.
