The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) has achieved a significant milestone as it prepares for its highly anticipated initial public offering (IPO). NSE has become the largest unlisted company in India, boasting over 1 lakh shareholders and the largest number of investors in the country. This accomplishment underscores the exchange’s prominent position in the Indian financial market.
Key shareholders of NSE include major insurance companies like LIC, GIC, and SBI, along with various foreign investors such as Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Crown Capital. These strategic partnerships have contributed to NSE’s growth and market dominance, positioning it as a key player in the Indian stock exchange landscape.
Despite facing regulatory hurdles and legal challenges since 2016, NSE’s resilience and strategic initiatives have propelled it to the forefront of the financial sector. The exchange’s efforts to go public and list on the Bombay Stock Exchange have been met with obstacles, but its recent achievements signal a positive trajectory for NSE’s future growth and expansion.
In a recent development, NSE refuted reports suggesting that it sought government intervention related to its IPO. The exchange clarified that it has not engaged in any correspondence with the Government of India regarding its IPO in the past 30 months, dismissing speculations and reaffirming its commitment to a transparent and independent listing process.
As part of its financial performance, NSE reported a 7% increase in net profit during the January-March 2025 period, reaching Rs 2,487 crore. Despite a decline in revenue from operations compared to the previous year, NSE’s board declared a dividend for its shareholders, further enhancing investor confidence and highlighting the exchange’s financial stability and profitability.
The board of directors recommended a final dividend of Rs 35 per equity share for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, including a special one-time dividend of Rs 11.46 per equity share. This shareholder-friendly approach underscores NSE’s commitment to value creation and rewarding its investors for their continued support and trust in the exchange.
As NSE continues to navigate the complexities of the financial markets and regulatory landscape, its status as the largest unlisted company in India underscores its significance and influence in the stock exchange ecosystem. With the IPO on the horizon and a strong investor base backing its growth trajectory, NSE is poised for a promising future as a key player in the Indian financial sector.
