NSE clears final Sebi hurdle for long-awaited IPO
India's markets regulator Sebi has approved the National Stock Exchange's IPO. The bourse will sell 148.9 million shares, or 6% of its paid-up equity, entirely as an offer for sale. The exchange gets no money—selling shareholders including SBI and Temasek do. This clears a decade-long regulatory wait that began in 2016. Investors should follow official announcements for the launch date and price.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Sebi has approved NSE's IPO, which could be worth around ₹30,000 crore.
- The IPO is structured entirely as an offer for sale of 148.9 million shares, so NSE will not receive any proceeds.
- NSE first filed its IPO papers in 2016, but the plan was delayed by a co-location case and a ₹1,300 crore settlement with Sebi in January 2026.
