NSE completed its long-delayed IPO and began trading on 2026-09-24, listing on the rival Bombay Stock Exchange at Rs 1,800 per share against an issue price of Rs 1,785 — a 0.84% premium — and closing its first session at Rs 1,817, for a market capitalisation of roughly Rs 4.46 lakh crore. The Rs 22,561.57 crore offer was India's second-largest public issue after Hyundai Motor India's in 2024 and was structured entirely as an offer for sale of about 126.44 million existing shares, so NSE itself received no proceeds and every rupee went to selling shareholders, among them State Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Stock Holding Corporation of India and several state insurers. Bidding ran 2026-09-17 to 2026-09-21 against a price band of Rs 1,700 to Rs 1,785 and was subscribed 5.71 times. The listing followed SEBI's clearance on 2026-09-04, which in turn followed the July 2026 settlement of the co-location and dark-fibre proceedings that had held the offering up for close to a decade; an exchange may not list on its own platform, which is why the shares trade on the BSE.
