The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has announced that the National Stock Exchange (NSE) will not be granted permission to trade its own shares on its trading platform at this point, stating that the matter is premature. SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey, during a recent industry conference, confirmed that NSE has not submitted any formal application requesting such approval.
He emphasized that trading of NSE shares on its platform requires further regulatory evaluation. The clarification comes amid discussions surrounding the potential for India’s largest stock exchange to enable trading of its own shares following its impending initial public offering (IPO). SEBI’s remarks highlight the continued strength of India’s capital markets, with 80 companies raising approximately Rs 60,000 crore through IPOs during the preceding period.
Additionally, the Assets Under Management (AUM) of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) had reached Rs 9.2 lakh crore by the end of the fiscal year.
