Lock-in Ends: ₹14,000 Cr in Shares Hit Market This Week

This week marks a significant event for the Indian stock market as shares worth nearly ₹14,000 crore from recent initial public offerings (IPOs) are set to become tradable. This surge in available shares is due to the expiry of shareholder lock-in periods for numerous companies, including prominent names like WeWork India, Meesho, Tata Capital, and LG Electronics India. These are among the largest IPOs of 2025, and their lock-ins ending this week will introduce substantial liquidity.

While many of these new listings, such as Meesho and LG Electronics India, are trading above their IPO prices, they have also seen corrections ranging from 15% to 30% from their post-listing highs. For instance, Meesho shares, though up over 60% from their issue price, have fallen nearly 30% from their peak. Similarly, LG Electronics India shares are up 30% from their issue price but have corrected 15% from their highest point.
