NSE’s ₹22,562 crore IPO could value the exchange at ₹4.42 lakh crore, placing it near India’s top 12 companies. Read more about its ranking.
The National Stock Exchange (NSE) could enter India’s top 12 listed companies by market capitalisation after its upcoming Initial Public Offering (IPO), with an implied valuation of up to ₹4.42 lakh crore. The IPO has a price band of ₹1,700-1,785 per share and involves an offer for sale (OFS) of 126.44 crore shares, which could raise as much as ₹22,562 crore.
At the upper end of the price band, NSE’s market capitalisation (implied) stands at around ₹4,41,788 crore. That would put the exchange close to Titan Company, which currently has a market value of ₹4,44,736 crore, and ahead of Sun Pharmaceutical Industries at ₹4,41,478 crore.
At the lower end, the IPO would give the company an implied market capitalisation of around ₹4,20,750 crore. This would place it below Infosys, valued at ₹4,21,123 crore, but above Kotak Mahindra Bank, which has a market capitalisation of ₹4,16,807 crore.
Where Could NSE Rank After Listing?
The NSE IPO valuation would put the company firmly among India’s biggest listed businesses. At the upper price band, it would rank around 12th, based on the current market capitalisation of large-cap companies.
Reliance Industries remains the country’s largest company, with a market capitalisation of around ₹17.02 lakh crore. Bharti Airtel and HDFC Bank follow with market values of ₹11.43 lakh crore and ₹10.92 lakh crore, respectively.
NSE would also be larger than several well-known companies at either end of its IPO price range. These include Kotak Mahindra Bank, Adani Enterprises, Adani Ports, Adani Power, Maruti Suzuki, and Axis Bank.
Why Is the IPO Size Significant?
The ₹22,562 crore offering would rank among India’s largest public issues. However, the size of the IPO does not mean NSE will receive the proceeds.
The entire issue is an OFS, meaning existing shareholders will sell their shares to investors. The money raised will therefore go to those selling shareholders rather than the exchange itself.
NSE’s eventual position could also change after listing. Since its estimated valuation is close to the market capitalisations of several major companies, normal movements in share prices could push the exchange higher or lower in the ranking over the coming months.
