A very big news is coming for those investing in the stock market. The public issue of the National Stock Exchange (NSE), which was awaited for a long time, is now going to become a reality. This much-awaited IPO of the country has entered its next and most important phase. According to reports, the company may submit its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) to the market regulator this week. The size of this issue and its valuation is so big that it will cement its place among the most talked about public offerings in the history of the Indian stock market.
Draft may be approved soon
Before entering the stock market, any company has to present its complete financial position to the investors, which is called DRHP. This important draft of the National Stock Exchange can be finalized soon. The board of the exchange will hold an important meeting soon after the paperwork is completed. In this meeting, final approval will be given to file this draft officially. As soon as this document becomes public, investors will get accurate information about the company’s business, profits and future strategies.
Huge empire worth Rs 5 lakh crore
According to initial estimates, the total valuation of NSE is being estimated between Rs 5 lakh crore to Rs 5.25 lakh crore. If we talk about the size of this IPO, then it is not going to be a small issue. It is reported that the company can sell 4% to 5% of its stake through Offer for Sale (OFS). This simply means that a huge amount of more than Rs 20,000 crore can be raised from the market.
Listing can happen between Navratri and Diwali
The biggest question in the minds of common investors is that when will this IPO hit the market. According to the information received, the company management has set a target of getting listed in the stock market by November this year. The plan is being made in such a way that the listing process is completed between the festive season of Navratri and Diwali. There is usually positivity in the market in the festive atmosphere, which can benefit this big issue. Before this, the company will also organize roadshows on a large scale to win the confidence of investors.
Army of 20 bankers busy in preparations
The National Stock Exchange has put in all its strength to make this mega-IPO successful. The management has appointed 20 merchant bankers to run this process smoothly. This is believed to be the largest team of bankers ever for a single IPO in the history of the Indian stock market. Not only this, 8 big law firms have also been roped in to handle the intricacies related to legal processes, regulatory approvals and compliance. It is noteworthy that after receiving the No Objection Certificate (NOC) from SEBI, on 6 February 2026 this year, the company’s board had given the green signal to this big step. However, the company management has currently refused to say anything more on this matter.
