3 articles · Updated · Global Finance · Jul 13

Nearly 149 million NSE shares were included in a filing to India’s market regulator, setting up one of the country’s most consequential IPOs.
The deal is entirely an offer for sale, letting investors including State Bank of India, Temasek and CPP Investments monetize stakes, raise liquidity and reallocate capital.
More than 35,000 individual shareholders are tied to the exchange, whose long-awaited listing arrives alongside Jio Platforms’ planned flotation as a test of India’s IPO market.
Global issuance remains weak: S&P Global said completed IPOs fell to 294 in the first quarter of 2026 from 451 in the previous quarter, with the Iran conflict cited as a headwind for deal flow.
