The National Stock Exchange (NSE) IPO is nearing regulatory clearance, with Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey indicating a No Objection Certificate (NOC) could be issued within this month. The NSE's listing plans, first filed in 2016, have been delayed for years due to governance issues and the co-location controversy. The exchange has since settled past regulatory cases, including paying a Rs 643 crore penalty, and implemented corrective measures, paving the way for potential approval.
