From Tata Capital to LG Electronics India, massive IPO lock-in expiry: $68 billion value unlock - What investors must know

A dense stretch of lock-in expiries beginning April 1 is set to test demand across recently listed companies, with a large number of shares becoming eligible for trading over the next four months.

Between March 24 and July 31, a total of 95 companies will see pre-listing shareholder lock-ins lifted, representing shares worth about $68 billion, according to Nuvama Alternative and Quantitative Research.
