NSE IPO DRHP: The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE), India's leading stock exchange, is likely to file its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) for the proposed IPO very soon.
According to a CNBV TV 18 report, NSE could file IPO draft papers with SEBI much before mid-June. Notably, NSE was earlier targeting to file its DRHP by June 15.
Sources said that the exchange is planning to file draft papers at the beginning of June.
NSE's expectation was that various retail shareholders could tender shares in the proposed IPO. But the exchange has now observed that the number of such shareholders participating in IPO is well below 500.
Though the participation of retail shareholders has been very thin, more than 5 per cent of retail shareholders of the NSE have offered to participate in the IPO.
NSE IPO: Total Shareholders Above 2 Lakh
NSE's total number of shareholders crossed 2 lakh in April 2026. At present, there are 2.02 lakh shareholders.
NSE IPO NOC
Earlier in February, NSE had obtained a no-objection certificate (NOC) from SEBI.
Once NSE files its DRHP, SEBI will go through the documents and give its approval, clearing the decks for the launch of the much-awaited IPO.
After SEBI's NOC, NSE had appointed a record 20 merchant bankers to manage its share sale.
NSE shares will list on the BSE. BSE is already listed and its shares are available for trade on the NSE.
