What to know

  • NSE's IPO is India's second-largest ever after Hyundai Motor India's 2024 offering, and entirely an offer-for-sale, so proceeds go to existing shareholders, not NSE itself.
  • Books closed with 5.7x overall subscription and about ₹90,300 crore in bids against a ₹22,568 crore issue size, with institutional demand (12.68x) far outpacing retail (1.39x).
  • The listing ends nearly a decade of delay tied to regulatory hurdles including the co-location controversy.
  • NSE shares are set to debut on the exchange itself on September 24, 2026.
