LIC IPO: Centre Likely To File Updated Draft Red Herring Prospectus On April 13
The government is expected to submit an updated draft of the red herring prospectus (UDRHP) for Life Insurance Corporation of India's (LIC) Initial Public Offering (IPO) with market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India on Wednesday, April 13, 2022.
The government may sell 5-6.5 per cent of its stake in LIC in order to raise Rs 50,000-60,000 crore in the stock market. The IPO was supposed to go live in March, but it was pushed back owing to the slow market created by the Russia-Ukraine scenario.

Russia Ukraine Conflict
With Russia changing its strategy in Ukraine and focusing in east, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned on Monday that Russia could use chemical weapons urging the West to impose stricter sanctions on Moscow to prevent talks about using such weapons.
Ukrainian MP Ivanna Klympush on Monday tweeted that an "unknown substance" has been used in the southern city of Mariupol, which is causing respiratory failure and movement disorders.
Petro Andryushchenko, an aide to the mayor of Mariupol, wrote on his Telegram channel that a chemical attack had not been confirmed and that he expected to provide details and clarifications later. In a video address on Monday night, Zelenskyy said, "We treat this with the utmost seriousness." However, he did not confirm that chemical weapons had already been used.
“I would like to remind world leaders that the possible use of chemical weapons by the Russian military has already been discussed. And already at that time it meant that it was necessary to react to the Russian aggression much harsher and faster,” he said according to Reuters
