NSE Subscription for India IPO Starts With Valuation in Focus
NSE's much-awaited IPO opened for bids on Thursday at ₹1,700 to ₹1,785 a share, closing September 21. The offer is entirely a sale by existing shareholders, so the exchange gets no money. At the top price it raises about ₹226 billion, valuing NSE near 43 times earnings — rich versus global peers. Analysts remain divided on whether that premium is justified.
Key Statutory Highlights
- NSE's IPO price band is ₹1,700 to ₹1,785 a share, and bidding closes on September 21.
- The offer is entirely a sale by existing shareholders, so NSE itself will not receive any of the money raised.
- At the top end, the deal raises about ₹226 billion and values NSE at roughly 42.9 times its earnings for the year ended March.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you plan to apply, read the prospectus carefully and note that options trading made up about 60% of NSE's operating revenue, so tighter derivatives rules could affect earnings. Please do not assume listing gains are guaranteed.
