The much-awaited NSE IPO opens for subscription today, bringing one of India’s biggest and most closely watched public issues to the market. The ₹22,569 crore IPO is entirely an offer for sale (OFS) of 12.64 crore shares, meaning NSE will not receive any proceeds from the issue. The funds raised will go to the existing selling shareholders. The IPO has a price band of ₹1,700–₹1,785 per share, with a lot size of 8 shares. Read more Brokerage views on the NSE IPO have been largely positive. At the upper end of the price band at ₹1,785 per share, NSE is valued at 42.9 times its FY26 earnings. LKP Securities has assigned a “Subscribe” rating to the issue, estimating NSE’s post-issue implied market capitalisation at between ₹4.2 lakh crore and ₹4.42 lakh crore. YES Securities has also recommended subscribing to the IPO, noting that NSE is valued at a 21% discount to BSE on a price-to-earnings (P/E) basis. According to the brokerage, BSE trades at 54.3 times FY26 diluted earnings, compared with NSE’s valuation of 42.9 times at the upper end of the IPO price band. For long-term investors, analysts point to NSE’s position as a key player in India’s market infrastructure, along with its strong margins, debt-free balance sheet, market leadership and expanding investor base. These factors, they say, provide a foundation for the exchange’s long-term growth prospects. Comments are moderated and will be allowed if they are about the topic and not abusive.
