The issue is expected to raise ₹30,000–32,000 crore, valuing the exchange at around ₹5-5.3 lakh crore, making it one of the biggest IPOs in India’s capital market history.
Sources indicated that formal investor marketing and roadshows could begin as early as next week.
Merchant bankers appointed for the transaction are expected to kick off domestic and overseas roadshows to showcase the exchange’s business model, financial performance and long-term growth prospects to institutional investors. The meetings are aimed at generating investor interest ahead of the formal launch of the public issue.
The proposed IPO will be structured entirely as an Offer for Sale (OFS), allowing existing shareholders to pare their holdings. As no fresh shares will be issued, the proceeds from the offering will accrue to the selling shareholders rather than the exchange itself.
