NSE IPO: After years of anticipation, India’s much-awaited, marquee NSE IPO is finally set to open its doors to investors next week. The public issue of the country’s leading stock exchange has already generated enormous interest, and the newly announced price band has now kicked off the countdown to its highly anticipated market debut.
The NSE IPO will open on September 17, 2026 and close on September 21, 2026, with the price band set at ₹1,700– ₹1,785 per equity share. The shares will have a face value of Re 1.
The issue is a 100% Offer for Sale (OFS), so NSE itself will receive no proceeds. After each selling shareholder’s share of offer expenses and taxes, the entire amount raised will go to the selling shareholders.
The likely IPO allotment date is September 22, followed by a probable listing on September 24. Anchor investors are scheduled to receive their allocation on September 16.
“At the upper price of ₹1,785, NSE is valued at 42.89x FY2026 earnings, which is supported by its superior market position, profitability, scalability and long-term growth opportunity,” Raj Gaikar, Equity Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities.
