NSE upcoming IPO
At present, investors are preferring to invest money in IPO in the stock market, NSE is going to bring its IPO soon in this order. There is tremendous enthusiasm among investors. Due to this, there is tremendous purchasing in India’s unlisted market regarding the shares of National Stock Exchange (NSE). In the hope of an IPO, retail investors have increased four times in just three months. So far, more than 1 lakh retail investors have bought NSE shares. Such a jump has never been seen before in the unlisted stock market.
So many investors increased in 3 months
In March 2025, the number of retail shareholders of NSE was 33,896, which increased to 1,46,208 in June 2025. That is, four times the increase in just three months. Now investors who have shares up to Rs 2 lakh, their share in the company has increased from 9.89% to 11.81%.
According to Krishna Patwari, founder and MD of Wealth Wisdom India Private Limited, “NSE retail shareholders in a quarter have never seen such a huge increase before,” he said that this boom has also come because the much -awaited IPO of NSE can come soon. It is believed that the IPO of NSE may be listed on BSE in the fourth quarter of FY2026.
This is also the reason for retail investors
A major reason behind this speed of retail investors is a change in rules. Since 24 March 2025, the NSE has removed the ISIN Freeze, which can now be easily purchased and sold like other unlisted shares. Earlier it used to take three months to get the share transfer, now this work is being done in a day. This has also given the opportunity to small investors. Padwari said, “Earlier the ISIN of NSE shares could not be transferred easily, which caused a problem in buying and selling. Now only 10 shares are also being transacted, which shows the growing interest of retail investors.”
SEBI chairman said this
On June 21, SEBI chairman Tuhin Kant Pandey also said that there is no interruption in the NSE IPO. The NSE has taken a big step towards solving co-location and dark fiber disputes by paying Rs 1,388 crore to SEBI, which was the biggest obstruction in its going public.
If we talk about investment, then the performance of NSE has also been tremendous. In FY25, NSE earned a net profit of Rs 12,188 crore, which is 47% more on a annual basis. At the same time, the company’s earnings increased by 16% to Rs 17,141 crore. NSE dominates India’s stock market. NSE has 94% in cash equity, 99% in equity index futures and 88% in equity index options.
