Key Takeaways

  • The reported participation of celebrity investors adds to the pre-IPO buzz around NSE, but the investment case ultimately rests on its market dominance, earnings profile and IPO valuation. With derivatives contributing the majority of transaction revenue, regulatory changes remain an important risk to monitor alongside the potential IPO upside.

Expert Analysis

Expert Analysis:

  • Several high-profile Bollywood and cricket personalities, including Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar, Aamir Khan, Anil Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan and Gauri Khan, have reportedly bought NSE's unlisted shares in recent months, betting on potential gains from the proposed IPO.

  • NSE's proposed IPO comprises an OFS of up to 14.9 crore shares, representing roughly 6% of paid-up capital, with no fresh issue of shares. Investors buying unlisted shares will also face a six-month lock-in after listing.

  • The investment case is supported by NSE's dominant market position: it held 93.1% of equity cash trading and 69.4% of equity options trading at the end of June 2026.

  • However, options trading remains a key risk, accounting for 76.55% of NSE's transaction revenue in FY26. Regulatory tightening and continuing retail losses in derivatives could affect future trading volumes and revenue growth.
