As India heads into the festive season, all eyes are on the NSE IPO, which marks the long-anticipated Initial Public Offering (IPO). After nearly a decade of waiting, the country’s largest stock exchange has secured the final regulatory green light from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), paving the way for what could be one of the most impactful listings in Indian capital markets.
According to Financial Express, SEBI’s recent no-objection certificate (NOC) has removed the last major hurdle for NSE IPO, which had been on hold since the co-location scam and related corporate governance issues surfaced nearly a decade ago. The IPO, expected to launch around Diwali 2025, could raise upwards of ₹10,000 crore and is likely to inject fresh optimism into the market during the festive season.
Radhakishan Damani Poised for Multi-Billion Rupee Payday
While NSE IPO will be a milestone for Indian markets, it also spells a massive financial gain for ace investor Radhakishan Damani. Through his investment arm, Bright Star Investments, Damani holds a stake exceeding 1% in the National Stock Exchange (NSE). Based on expected valuations, his shareholding could be worth over ₹9,300 crore once the stock lists publicly.
Damani, the founder of Avenue Supermarts (DMart), has long been admired for his strategic, low-profile investments. His early bet on NSE India’s most dominant stock exchange by trading volume now appears poised to deliver one of his most significant returns yet. Market analysts view his investment as a long-term conviction play that could set an example for other value-driven investors as the IPO season heats up.
IPO Sentiment Buoyant After Pro-Fx Tech Debut
The mood in India’s primary markets is already upbeat, thanks in part to the successful listing of Pro-Fx Technologies on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). As reported by IPO Watch, the tech firm debuted at a considerable premium over its issue price, signaling strong investor appetite for growth-oriented companies with solid fundamentals (IPO Watch). This successful listing serves as a positive signal for NSE’s upcoming IPO, reinforcing confidence among both retail and institutional investors.
With Diwali traditionally driving market enthusiasm, NSE IPO could become the headline event of 2025. Analysts expect it to not only attract huge investor participation but also reinforce India’s maturing capital markets. As momentum builds, the listing could mark a transformative moment not just for NSE’s stakeholders but for the entire Indian IPO ecosystem.
