NSE debuts on BSE after decade-long wait, raises $2.4B in IPO
India's National Stock Exchange goes public with modest first-day gains as retail demand cools and trading boom slows.
What to know
- NSE, India's largest stock exchange, completed its decade-long wait to go public, launching on BSE on September 24, 2026, and raising $2.4 billion in one of the country's largest IPOs.
- Gray market signals and subdued retail demand point to modest first-day gains of 2–3%, well below the dramatic rally investors had anticipated after years of delays.
- The debut comes as India's options and retail trading boom is cooling, tempering expectations for strong performance despite the listing's historic significance.
“After nearly a decade of waiting, India's National Stock Exchange has finally gone public. But can NSE live up to years of hype and investor expectations?”
