India's National Stock Exchange files for a massive 30,000 crore IPO

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India has officially taken a historic step toward its public debut.
On June 17, 2026, the exchange filed its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with SEBI, proposing a massive Initial Public Offering (IPO) valued at approximately ₹30,000 crore.
If successful, this would become India's largest-ever IPO, surpassing previous records held by firms like Hyundai Motor India.
As the world’s largest equity derivatives exchange by volume, the NSE occupies a dominant position in the financial sector.
The offering is structured entirely as an Offer for Sale (OFS), meaning institutional shareholders like the State Bank of India will divest their stakes, rather than the company raising new capital.
This filing follows a long decade of anticipation, delayed previously by regulatory investigations.
SEBI is currently reviewing the proposal, and if approved, the IPO will mark a transformative milestone for India's capital markets.
