South Korean major LG Electronics has delayed the upcoming initial public offering (IPO) for its Indian unit, amid volatility in the local share markets, according to industry insiders. Earlier, the South Korean Chaebol was planning the IPO and subsequent listing of LG Electronics India on the bourse in the second week of May. However, it has been deferred for at least one quarter. LG may delay the IPO even further, if in August the consumer electronics major finds market sentiment not good, industry insiders told PTI. The IPO, which was estimated to be around Rs 15,000 crore in some media reports, had not attracted a very warm reception from the investors, they said. The market is facing uncertainties from the new tariff regulation by the Trump administration, and also the latest development on the terror attack at Pahalgam in Jammu & Kashmir. An LG Electronics spokesperson said a final decision on this will be taken based on market conditions. "The procedures for LGEIL's IPO ar
