NSE IPO Nears Launch as Price Band, GMP Draw Focus
The National Stock Exchange, or NSE, is preparing to sell shares to the public.
This sale is called an initial public offering, or IPO.
The exchange may announce the share price and total size of the sale on Friday.
Reports suggest each share could cost between Rs 1,700 and Rs 1,800.
Another report says the planned sale could be 15% smaller than previously expected.
NSE would need to list its own shares on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
The grey market premium, which shows unofficial investor interest, was reported at 10%.
The IPO process faced delays for years because of regulatory and legal matters, but a settlement helped remove a major obstacle.
The National Stock Exchange’s IPO is expected to open within days, with official pricing and issue-size details likely on Friday.
Financial Express sources put the tentative price band at Rs 1,700-1,800 per share.
A Reuters report said the potential issue size could be reduced by 15%.
The exchange is expected to list on the Bombay Stock Exchange, where companies typically list their shares.
The grey market premium stood at 10%, after moderating from levels seen soon after SEBI approval.
