Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Government of India, as LIC promoter, is exercising the full oversubscription option in its ongoing OFS. Total offer size now 8.22 crore shares or 6.50 percent of paid-up capital, up from base 2.50 percent. Non-Retail bidding on August 4, 2026. Retail and Employees bid on August 5 at Rs 373.10 (Rs 10 discount). Non-Retail cut-off at Rs 383.10. 10 percent reserved for retail, up to 50 lakh shares for eligible employees.
Strong investor demand for LIC shares; retail investors get a Rs 10 discount. Higher supply may weigh on stock price in the short term.
