NSE IPO: Big Returns Uncertain Despite Mega Size
The National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India is launching its IPO on 17 September 2026.
The price band is set between ₹1700 and ₹1785 per share, making it the second-largest IPO in India after Hyundai Motor India.
The big question is whether large IPOs guarantee big returns.
Looking at past large IPOs like LIC, Paytm, Tata Technologies, and Hyundai Motor India, the performance has been mixed.
LIC and Paytm are trading below their IPO prices, while Tata Technologies and Hyundai Motor India have seen some gains.
The NSE IPO is expected to deliver around 10% listing gain based on current unlisted market prices.
