NSE IPO Could Deliver Huge Returns to Selling Shareholders
The National Stock Exchange of India is planning to sell shares to the public through an IPO.
The IPO price is expected to be between ₹1,700 and ₹1,785 per share.
Some early investors bought their shares for only a few rupees or even less.
If they sell at the highest IPO price, their gains could look extremely large.
The New India Assurance Company and National Insurance Company bought shares at ₹0.32 each.
That would equal a reported return of about 5,57,700% at the upper price band.
Other investors, including SBI and Bank of Baroda, could also receive very large returns.
These figures are estimates based on the IPO price band and do not guarantee the eventual market price or profit.
The NSE IPO price band is set at ₹1,700–₹1,785 per share.
The New India Assurance Company and National Insurance Company could see approximately 5,57,700% returns at the upper price band.
State Bank of India acquired shares at ₹0.80 each and could receive a reported 2,23,025% return.
Reported returns for other shareholders range from about 450% for Canada Pension Plan Investment Board to nearly 3,87,950% for Stock Holding Corporation of India.
The IPO is scheduled to open on 17 September 2026 and close on 21 September 2026, with listing expected on 24 September.
