The stock closed 1.85% higher on its first day at 1,818 rupees, giving the exchange a valuation of 4.5 trillion rupees (approximately $46.9 billion).

India's National Stock Exchange Lists in $23 Billion IPO After Decade of Regulatory Hurdles
The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange on September 24, marking India's second-largest IPO with a valuation of approximately $46 billion. The IPO, which opened for subscription from September 17-21, was oversubscribed 5.71 times, raising about $2.3 billion entirely through an offer for sale by existing shareholders. NSE dominates India's cash equity market with over 93% share and is the world's largest derivatives exchange. The listing follows nearly a decade of regulatory delays due to a co-location controversy, with approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) finally granted in September 2026. NSE's business model relies heavily on transaction fees, which contributed 78.65% of its 2026 fiscal year revenue, with stock options alone accounting for 60%. However, regulatory tightening on derivatives trading since 2024 has impacted volumes, with NSE's operating income falling 3% in fiscal 2026. Analysts at Jefferies noted the listing will bring valuation transparency and governance upgrades, potentially attracting billions in foreign portfolio flows. The IPO completes the listing of India's three major market infrastructure institutions alongside BSE and MCX.

India's National Stock Exchange (NSE) listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) on September 24, after nearly a decade of regulatory hurdles. The IPO, India's second-largest ever, raised about $23 billion at a valuation of roughly $46 billion, though it was a secondary offering with proceeds going to existing shareholders. The IPO was subscribed 5.71 times, below the Indian market average of 39 times, reflecting investor caution over its heavy reliance on derivatives trading amid tightening regulations. NSE dominates India's cash equity market with over 93% share and is the world's largest derivatives exchange. Its revenue model is heavily dependent on transaction fees (78.65% of operating income), primarily from stock options. Analysts from Jefferies and SAMCO Securities offered mixed views: Jefferies highlighted potential for foreign investment inflows and governance upgrades, while SAMCO noted regulatory changes have 'reset but not ended' the business. The listing completes the trio of Indian exchange listings (NSE, BSE, MCX) and provides a direct valuation comparison with BSE. The article also contextualizes the IPO within India's broader capital market growth, noting rising domestic investor participation and a shift from foreign portfolio investors.
