NSE IPO Draws Long-Term Subscribe Call Despite Derivatives Risks

The National Stock Exchange of India is planning to sell shares to the public.

Investors can apply between September 17 and September 21, 2026.

The shares are priced between ₹1,700 and ₹1,785 each.

The money raised will go to existing shareholders selling their shares, not to NSE itself.

SAMCO Securities thinks the IPO may be good for people investing for a long time.

It says NSE is very large, profitable, technologically advanced and has no fund-based borrowings.

However, much of NSE’s income comes from derivatives, especially options.

Changes in rules or lower trading activity could reduce that income.

A small number of large trading members also provide a significant share of revenue.
