NSE IPO looks cheap at ₹1,785. Here’s the catch
The National Stock Exchange (NSE) opens its ₹22,569 crore initial public offering (IPO) on 17 September, priced at ₹1,700-1,785 a share. That is about 30% cheaper than rival BSE on FY27 earnings. But NSE's options premium share fell to 68.5% in Q1FY27 from nearly 97% in FY24, after Sebi limited weekly expiries. If you plan to apply, read the prospectus carefully and ignore grey market talk.

Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you are thinking of applying, read the red herring prospectus and weigh the slower derivatives growth before deciding. Treat the discount as something to check, not a reason to buy.
