The final actuarial valuation from Millman is still awaited but there are preliminary reports that the government could be seeking a valuation of around $110 billion for LIC. That would still put LIC among the top-5 most valuable listed companies in India. The government will raise between Rs.40,000 crore to Rs.80,000 crore via the IPO depending on whether the government sells 5% or 10%. There is a concern that LIC IPO could drain market liquidity.
