LIC’s highly anticipated IPO is likely to kick off in May as the government plans to postpone the mega-public issue amid jittery market conditions. Earlier last week, capital market regulator SEBI approved LIC’s IPO, with the government looking to sell 5% of its stake. With SEBI’s current set of approvals, LIC can bring the IPO before May 12. The only additional requirement until then is an addendum to the draft red herring prospectus to the insurer’s December quarterly results. The government hopes to raise Rs 65,000-70,000 crore through the IPO.
