LG Electronics India Lists on NSE, Unveils Vision to Become a National Corporation of India
LG Electronics (LG) announced the successful listing of its subsidiary, LG Electronics India Limited (LGEIL), on the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE), marking a significant milestone in its journey to become a national corporation of India and a long-term partner in the country’s economic growth.
The listing ceremony, held on October 14 at NSE in Mumbai, was attended by William Cho, CEO of LG Electronics; Chang-tae Kim, CFO of LG; Hong-ju Jeon, Managing Director of LGEIL; Dae-hyun Song, Board Chairman; and Ashish Chauhan, CEO of NSE, along with investors and market analysts. Cho and Chauhan jointly rang the ceremonial gong to mark the commencement of LGEIL’s trading on the exchange.
In its initial public offering (IPO), LG offered 15 percent of LGEIL’s issued shares — 101.8 million shares — through an offer for sale priced at INR 1,140 per share, the top of the indicative range. The IPO was oversubscribed 54 times, generating approximately USD 1.31 billion (INR 116.05 billion).
With this listing, LGEIL deepens its roots in India, reinforcing its role in a rapidly expanding consumer market driven by rising income levels and a growing middle class. According to Boston Consulting Group, India’s middle-income households (annual income between USD 6,000–36,000) are projected to increase from 29% in 2020 to 46% by 2030, creating strong momentum for appliance and electronics adoption.
“India is now at the center of our Global South strategy,” said William Cho. “We look forward to advancing the growth of both LG and LGEIL as we strengthen our presence and partnership in this vital market.”
