NSE Plans IPO with 5% Stake Sale by Temasek, LIC, SBI, and Others

India's National Stock Exchange (NSE) is preparing to file its draft prospectus with SEBI next month, aiming for an initial public offering (IPO) this year. Existing shareholders, including Singapore's Temasek, Canada's CPPIB, Life Insurance Corporation, State Bank of India, and ChrysCapital, plan to sell a combined 5% stake valued at approximately $2.75 billion. The IPO follows a prolonged listing delay due to regulatory litigation, with NSE being one of two major Indian share sales this year alongside Reliance Jio Platforms.
