The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) has launched its public IPO today, September 17, 2026, marking one of India's largest public share offerings.
The IPO features a price range of ₹1,700 to ₹1,785 per equity share, with an offer for sale (OFS) of up to 12.64 crore shares from existing shareholders. As the issue is entirely an OFS, NSE will not benefit financially from the share sale.
The subscription period runs until September 21, with the tentative allotment date set for September 22. NSE shares are expected to start trading on the BSE on September 24. Retail investors must apply for a minimum of 8 shares, totaling ₹14,280 at the upper price limit.
Prior to the public offering, NSE raised ₹6,746.18 crore from 189 institutional investors in its anchor book, with shares allocated at ₹1,785 each.
On the opening day, initial bids showed participation from both institutional and retail investors, with approximately 0.09 times the shares being bid by 10:20 AM IST. Subscription levels have reportedly increased throughout the morning.
As of September 17, the grey-market premium (GMP) stands at around ₹125 per share, an unofficial metric subject to change and not indicative of final listing prices or returns.
