Offers were received for 16.250 million shares against 16.20 shares offered for sale by LIC.

By comparison, the ratio of qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) to non-institutional investors (NIIs) has so far received a mixed response. The non-institutional segment was subscribed at 46%, while QIB's share was just under 40%.

      

Retail investors bought nearly 91% of the 6.9 billion shares earmarked for this segment.

The LIC IPO opened for subscription on May 4 and will remain open until May 9, including Saturday and Sunday.

The price range of the initial public offering has been set at Rs902-949 per share.

The offer includes reservation for eligible employees and insured. Retail investors and eligible employees receive a refund of Rs 45 per share, while policyholders receive a refund of Rs 60 per share.

The government intends to generate around Rs 21,000 crore by diluting its 3.5% stake in the insurance giant.
