NSE Shares Set for Listing After Decade-Long Wait
The National Stock Exchange of India is preparing to have its shares listed on the BSE.
This follows almost 10 years of waiting.
Investors could buy shares in the public offering starting 17 September 2026.
The offering received many more bids than the number of shares available.
Large professional investors showed especially strong interest.
However, the grey market premium suggests the shares may not rise much on the first day.
Analyst Arun Kejriwal said the company has strong fundamentals.
He advised investors to hold the shares for the long term because he believes NSE reflects India’s economic growth.
NSE shares are set to list on the BSE after nearly a decade-long wait.
The ₹22,569-crore public issue opened on 17 September 2026 and was subscribed 5.71 times.
Qualified institutional buyers subscribed to more than 12 times their allotted portion.
The reported grey market premium of ₹45 points to a potentially flat debut.
Analyst Arun Kejriwal advised investors to focus on NSE’s long-term growth rather than listing gains.
