SEBI Gives In‑Principle Nod to NSE Settlement, Paving Way for IPO

Government approval for a 2.5% stake sale aligns with new rules allowing mega firms to float just 2.5%.

Overview

  • SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey said the regulator has backed NSE’s settlement in the unfair access cases and is in the final stages of issuing a no‑objection certificate.
  • The exchange is targeting an end‑March 2026 filing of draft listing papers, with formal appointments of bankers and lawyers contingent on the NOC.
  • NSE’s settlement applications in the co‑location and dark fibre matters total about Rs 1,387 crore, for which significant provisions have been made.
  • The government has approved a 2.5% dilution to facilitate the listing under relaxed minimum float norms for companies valued above Rs 5 trillion.
  • The IPO is anticipated to be among India’s largest, advancing a listing effort that has been stalled since 2016.
