NSE IPO Launch Nears After SEBI Clearance, GMP Surges
The National Stock Exchange wants to sell shares to the public through an IPO.
India’s market regulator, SEBI, has now allowed the plan to move forward.
The IPO could be launched in the second half of September, but the exact dates are not confirmed.
Reports suggest the issue may open around September 18 and list around September 25.
The offering could be worth about Rs 30,000 crore.
Existing shareholders would sell their shares, rather than the exchange raising new money.
Investors are watching the grey market premium, which is currently between Rs 275 and Rs 300.
The final details will be known after NSE files updated documents and announces the issue terms.
SEBI has cleared the National Stock Exchange’s proposed IPO after years of regulatory and legal delays.
The issue could open around September 18, with a possible listing around September 25, but no dates are official.
The IPO may raise about Rs 30,000 crore through an offer for sale of up to 14.89 crore shares.

NSE is expected to file an updated DRHP, after which it will confirm the issue size, price band and launch schedule.
