Mumbai: The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has expressed concerns over the National Stock Exchange (NSE) initial public offering (IPO) documents and awaits clarifications from the exchange's lead managers, a report reveals. SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey indicated that the regulator is on the verge of approving the NSE draft papers, heightening expectations of the long-awaited listing.
NSE had filed its draft red herring prospectus with SEBI in June for a potential offer-for-sale (OFS) of up to 148.9 million equity shares, making up about 6% of the exchange's paid-up capital. The IPO will be entirely an OFS, with no new share issuance, meaning NSE will not receive proceeds, as they will be returned to existing shareholders selling their stakes.
Regulatory issues, primarily the co-location and dark fibre cases, have delayed NSE's listing plans for nearly a decade. SEBI's approval sheds light on the regulator's intent to address these concerns.
