LIC IPO has received capital markets regulator SEBI’s nod for its mega public issue, CNBC TV18 reported citing sources. The state-owned insurance behemoth had filed for its IPO earlier last month. The issue will entirely be an offer for sale (OFS) by the government that is attempting to garner somewhere around Rs 63,000 crore to meet its divestment target. The government will sell a 5% stake in the company. While the IPO has received SEBI’s green light, investors may have to wait for it to hit primary markets. Seeing the current geopolitical situation and the lack of appetite among FIIs, the government may delay the LIC IPO.
