LG postpones IPO for Indian unit due to 'unfavorable' market conditions

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.
