  • IPOs with major companies raising funds, surpassing Rs 3 lakh crore. This trend is expected to continue in 2025 with significant listings from giants like Flipkart, LG India, and Reliance Industries' Jio.

The article discusses the potential for India to witness its largest-ever initial public offering (IPO) in 2025, focusing on the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). LIC, which was established in 1956 and has been a dominant player in India's insurance sector, is expected to launch an IPO that could surpass the record set by Coal India's $3.5 billion IPO in 2010. The government's plan to divest a portion of its stake in LIC is part of a broader strategy to raise funds and reduce its stake in public sector enterprises. The article highlights the complexities involved in valuing LIC due to its vast policyholder base, extensive asset management, and the unique regulatory environment it operates within. It also mentions the anticipation and speculation around the IPO's size, pricing, and its impact on the Indian stock market, suggesting that this could be a landmark event in India's financial history, potentially reshaping the investment landscape.
