The National Stock Exchange (NSE) is planning a ~$2.75 billion IPO via a ~5% stake sale, implying a valuation of $55 billion, positioning it among the largest listings in India.
The offering is structured as an offer-for-sale (OFS), where existing investors including LIC, SBI, Temasek, and other global institutions will partially exit their holdings.
Around 20 institutional investors are expected to participate in the stake sale, highlighting strong institutional backing and liquidity for early shareholders.
The IPO marks a significant milestone after years of delay due to regulatory and legal challenges, with recent progress indicating clearance of key hurdles.
NSE remains India’s largest unlisted company by shareholder base (~1.7 lakh+ investors), making the IPO execution complex but highly anticipated.
The exchange’s strong operating performance—supported by derivatives trading and steady revenue growth underpins investor interest ahead of listing.
