NSE IPO likely to open September 18, list September 25
The National Stock Exchange may sell some of its shares to the public.
The IPO is expected to open on September 18 and the shares may begin trading on September 25.
It could raise about Rs 30,000 crore.
That would make it bigger than Hyundai Motor India’s IPO in 2024.
The sale would involve existing shareholders selling shares.
The exchange would not create or sell new shares in this offering.
This means the exchange itself would not get money from the sale.
The plan has received regulatory clearance, but the exchange has not officially confirmed the schedule.
The National Stock Exchange’s IPO is likely to open for public subscription on September 18 and list on September 25.
The offering could raise approximately Rs 30,000 crore, potentially making it India’s largest IPO.
The IPO will be an offer for sale of up to 148.9 million shares, representing nearly 6% of paid-up equity.
There will be no fresh issue, so the National Stock Exchange itself will not receive IPO proceeds.
The proposed schedule is intended to complete the listing before Pitru Paksha begins on September 26.
