The government shareholding, (as a promoter) in NSE listed companies has jumped to 7.15 per cent as of June 30, 2022, from 5.48 per cent in March 2022.

Life Insurance Corporation's public offer started with widespread fanfare, but apart from a euphoric subscription, it has all been downhill for the insurance behemoth. India's biggest initial public offering (IPO) received an overwhelming response with its issue oversubscribed nearly three times, which has turned out to be the only bright spot in the so-called phase termed "LIC 2.0."

LIC made its debut on bourses on May 17. The scrip got listed at nearly a 7% discount at Rs 886.20 on the BSE against the issue price of Rs 949. 

LIC made a tepid market debut but became the fifth-largest firm by market capitalisation after listing.  

LIC IPO Listing: Life Insurance Corporation's (LIC) much-awaited initial public offering (IPO), India's biggest-ever listing, turned into a dull affair. The insurance company's shares were about 0.9% higher from their lacklustre debut close.

The listing comes as India`s IPO market is slowing, with first-quarter proceeds raised through India`s primary markets worth $995 million via the three largest IPOs compared with $2.57 billion a year earlier.

The Sensex and Nifty are set to open flat to higher on Tuesday, following subdued cues from global peers and muted trading on the SGX Nifty futures.

Life Insurance Corp is likely to see a lacklustre debut when it lists on Indian stock exchanges on Tuesday despite the $2.7 billion initial public offering being oversubscribed, analysts said.

Shares of the insurer have been priced at the upper end of the IPO price range. They were available in a price band of Rs 902 to Rs 949 per share.
