NSE Files Updated IPO Prospectus, Price Band Expected This Week
NSE, a major stock exchange, is getting closer to selling shares to the public.
It has submitted an updated IPO document to SEBI.
People cannot yet see the updated document, so some details remain unconfirmed.
Existing shareholders will sell the shares, rather than NSE creating new ones.
Analysts think the price could be between Rs 1,800 and Rs 2,000 per share.
They estimate the IPO could raise Rs 24,000-25,000 crore.
NSE shares were trading near Rs 2,000 in the unlisted market.
The exchange may announce the final price and size this week.
The IPO could be completed in September, but the exact schedule is still being worked out.
The National Stock Exchange has filed an updated Draft Red Herring Prospectus with SEBI, but the document is not yet public.
NSE is expected to announce its IPO price band and final issue size this week.
The offering will be an offer for sale by existing shareholders, with no new shares issued by NSE.
Analysts estimate a price band of Rs 1,800-2,000 per share and potential proceeds of Rs 24,000-25,000 crore.
NSE shares were reported near Rs 2,000 in the unlisted market, while the grey-market premium was around Rs 255 on September 9.
