Listing will see existing shareholders offering to sell about 6% of equity
Estimated $3.3 billion IPO to value India's biggest bourse at $57 billion
State Bank of India to make $498 million, Temasek to make $219 million
Adds Temasek declined to comment in paragraph 15
By Jayshree P Upadhyay
MUMBAI, June 18 (Reuters) - Investors from Indian state-owned lenders to Singapore's sovereign wealth fund and Canada's national pension manager are set to reap a $2.6 billion windfall as India's National Stock Exchange (NSE) moves ahead with a long-awaited listing.
NSE — the country's largest bourse and the world's most active derivatives exchange — filed draft papers for an initial public offering late on Wednesday, following years of regulatory delays.
The listing will be a pure offer-for-sale, with existing shareholders offering to sell about 6% of the exchange's equity and no fresh equity raised.
NSE has more than 200,000 investors currently, and its shares trade at close to 2,000 rupees ($21.18) in the unlisted market, according to trading platforms. That suggests a valuation of some $57 billion, setting the bourse up to become the world's fifth most valuable after London Stock Exchange Group.
The exchange may offer shares at a 5% to 10% discount to private market valuations, said three sources, including merchant bankers. The valuation under discussion is around 1,900 rupees per share, they added, declining to be identified as they are not authorised to speak to the media.
"At this valuation NSE would attract incoming investors while not short-changing existing ones," one source said.
A final decision on pricing will be taken closer to listing, following investor roadshows.
At 1,900 rupees per share, the IPO would be worth $3.3 billion, making it one of India's two largest public offerings alongside Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio, which is likely to list this year in an IPO worth some $4 billion.
NSE said it could not comment beyond that it has filed an IPO prospectus when asked by Reuters about the valuation.
WINDFALL GAINS
The top 10 investors offering shares are set for a windfall worth some $2.6 billion, based on acquisition prices disclosed in the draft prospectus.
State Bank of India, the country’s largest lender, will lock in gains of about 47 billion rupees ($497.67 million), while MS Strategic (Mauritius), a Morgan Stanley fund, will make about 29.34 billion rupees, according to Reuters calculations based on prospectus disclosures and valuation estimates.
Singapore's Temasek stands to make 20.67 billion rupees via its Aranda Investment arm, and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board will gain 18.71 billion rupees.
State Bank of India and Morgan Stanley did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment. CPPIB and Temasek declined to comment.
Anubhav Dayal, founder of Hong Kong-headquartered Soach Global Corporation, said its flagship fund first bought into NSE in early 2016 and is now selling 20% of its holding to provide liquidity to investors.
"It has proven to be a great investment. We saw the potential in NSE to serve India's masses," Dayal said, adding that the firm continues to hold NSE as a key investment. "NSE will continue to play an important role in India's economic activity."
GROWTH PROSPECTS AND REGULATORY RISKS
The exchange is likely to begin IPO roadshows over the next two months, the sources said, adding that both domestic mutual funds and global funds have shown early interest in anchoring the issue.
The exchange’s revenue has more than doubled between April 2019 and April 2026 to about 187 billion rupees, driven by strong growth in options trading. However, growth has slowed over the past year after a series of regulatory curbs on derivatives.
The exchange, detailing regulatory risks in its filing, said revenue could continue to be impacted by government and regulatory measures aimed at tempering derivatives activity.
In its IPO papers, NSE said growth will hinge on continued expansion in first-time investors, rising trading activity, innovation in derivatives products and a push into commodities.
Ravi Varanasi, a former group president at NSE who now runs a consultancy advising Indian exchanges, said NSE's near-total grip on the cash market gives it a strong long-term growth opportunity.
"As India’s market capitalisation deepens, cash trading volumes are expected to rise steadily," he said.

GIFT city offers benefits including 10-year tax holiday
India's insurance market is ranked tenth largest in the world
Swiss Re and Munich Re and domestic firms dominate Indian market for now
By Ashwin Manikandan and Jayshree P Upadhyay
MUMBAI, Jan 29 (Reuters) - Some of the world's biggest reinsurers, including Lloyd's of London, are seeking Indian regulatory approval to operate in a low-tax city set up in the prime minister's home state to try to rival other international financial hubs, two sources said.
The global companies, which also include South Korea’s Samsung Re, Kenya Re and Spain’s Mapfre Re, will join more than a dozen global reinsurers from Europe, the Middle East and Asia that are turning to the new city to gain access to India's $129.78 billion insurance market, estimated by the industry to be the tenth largest in the world.
The two sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to the press, said the companies were expected to seek approval this year.
Email queries sent to Mapfre Re, Samsung Re and Kenya Re were not answered. A Lloyd’s of London spokesperson declined to comment. The companies' plans to set up operations in the Gujarat International Finance Tec‑City, or GIFT City, have not been previously reported.
The city offers businesses favourable tax treatment, such as a 10-year tax holiday and exemption from capital gains.
The government has said it hopes it will rival Singapore and Dubai as an international financial centre.
India's reinsurance market is currently dominated by Swiss Re and Munich Re, as well as private firms and the government-owned GIC Re that is widely expected to grow after the government introduced reforms to deepen India's insurance penetration.
SAUDI RE AND OTHERS HAVE RECEIVED APPROVAL
A few large reinsurers have received approvals over the last year to begin operating in GIFT City. These include Saudi Re, Korean Re, Peak Re, Kuwait Re, Abu Dhabi National Insurance and Kazakh‑based Eurasia Insurance Company JSC, according to regulatory officials and company statements.
Saudi Re earlier this week opened its GIFT City branch, its second in Asia after Malaysia.
Korean Re has said its expansion reflected its commitment to India’s high growth insurance sector, while Hong Kong‑based Peak Re, which received a licence in March 2025, said it plans to offer life and non-life insurance.
About 14 global reinsurers operate from GIFT City, managing an annualised $700–800 million in premiums, public disclosures show.
The number of reinsurers is expected to increase to at least 20 by the end of March 2026, two regulatory officials said, declining to be identified as final approvals are pending.
They said the international reinsurers sought to offer products that are relatively underdeveloped in India, including surety bonds, parametric insurance, marine and shipping cover, cyber risk and health reinsurance.
Apart from favourable tax treatment, the international reinsurers operating from GIFT City can follow the solvency norms of their home regulators rather than those prescribed by India.
Indian reinsurers are required to maintain a minimum solvency ratio of 150% to ensure they can settle claims even in extreme circumstances. Global requirements tend to be lower.
“With a globally aligned regulatory framework and enabling reforms, we are seeing growing interest from global reinsurers in the GIFT IFSC opportunity,” Dipesh Shah, executive director at the regulator for financial services at GIFT City told Reuters.
He declined to share details on reinsurers seeking to set up operations in the city.

NEW DELHI, Dec 15 (Reuters) - The Indian government held road shows in London to assess investor interest for a minority stake sale in state-run General Insurance Corp of India (GIC) GENA.NS, two government sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
India plans to sell a total of 10% stake in the insurer in tranches to meet the market regulator's minimum public shareholding norm, Reuters reported last year. Out of this, the government offloaded its 3.4% shareholding in the insurer in September 2024.
Officials from the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) travelled to London to meet investors and seek feedback, one of the sources said.
India's finance ministry did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
The government currently holds an 82.4% stake in GIC, according to official data, while the insurer's shares were trading about 3.5% below the offer-for-sale price set in last year's government share sale. As per the market regulator's rules, all listed Indian companies are required to maintain a minimum public shareholding of 25%.
The government remains committed to its privatisation and minority stake-sale plans, but the pace has slowed over the past two years. Divestment receipts stood at 175 billion rupees ($1.93 billion) in 2024/25 and as on date for this fiscal year, according to government data.
Minority stake sales help bolster the government's divestment proceeds, and India aims to raise 470 billion rupees through stake sales and asset monetisation in the current financial year through March 31, 2026.

Adds details of stake sale, background throughout
BENGALURU, Sept 3 (Reuters) - The Indian government has proposed to offload a stake of about 6.8% in General Insurance Corp of India (GIC) GENA.NS, an exchange filing showed on Tuesday.
The sale will made at a floor price of 395 rupees per share, as per the filing, a 6.3% discount to Tuesday's closing price. The Indian government currently owns more than 85% stake in the insurer.
The proposal comes months after a source told Reuters that the government is open to selling a minority stake in insurers GIC and Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) LIFI.NS in the year ending 2025 following an assessment of investor appetites.
"The government has received good feedback in investor roadshows for GIC, and is open to sell its 10% stake in tranches depending on its shares' value," the government official had said at the time.

NEW DELHI, April 19 (Reuters) - The Indian government is open to a minority stake sale in General Insurance Corporation of India GENA.NS (GIC) and Life Insurance Corporation of India LIFI.NS (LIC) in financial year 2024/25 after assessing investor appetite, a government source told Reuters on Friday.
“The government has received good feedback in investor roadshows for GIC, and is open to sell its 10% stake in tranches depending on its shares' value,” the official said.
The sale of 10% stake in GIC would be done over a period of time, the official said, garnering about 57 billion rupees ($683 million), as per the closing price on Friday. India's fiscal year runs April through March.
Shares of GIC have risen about 45% in the last six months.
For LIC, the government plans to stick to its target of offloading 10% stake over 7 years and 25% over 10 years since the listing in 2022, the source said.
However, LIC stakes would be sold in "small" tranches depending on the insurer’s stock performance and gauging investor appetite, the source said.
Shares of country's largest insurer have jumped 58% in the last six months and closed at 973 rupees on Friday.
In LIC's IPO, the government had sold 3.5% stake in the company, and had planned to offload another 1.5% for the insurer’s inclusion in index funds.
"Any stake sale in LIC will be done in small tranches considering the large size of the offer," the official said.
A sale of 1.5% stake in LIC can help the government garner about 92 billion rupees, as per stock’s closing price on Friday.
An email sent to India's finance ministry did not elicit an immediate response.

The sale of 10% stake in GIC would be done over a period of time, the official said, garnering about 57 billion rupees ($683 million), as per the closing price on Friday. India's fiscal year runs April through March.
Shares of GIC have risen about 45% in the last six months.
For LIC, the government plans to stick to its target of offloading 10% stake over 7 years and 25% over 10 years since the listing in 2022, the source said.
However, LIC stakes would be sold in "small" tranches depending on the insurer’s stock performance and gauging investor appetite, the source said.
Shares of country's largest insurer have jumped 58% in the last six months and closed at 973 rupees on Friday.
In LIC's IPO, the government had sold 3.5% stake in the company, and had planned to offload another 1.5% for the insurer’s inclusion in index funds.
"Any stake sale in LIC will be done in small tranches considering the large size of the offer," the official said.
A sale of 1.5% stake in LIC can help the government garner about 92 billion rupees, as per stock’s closing price on Friday.
An email sent to India's finance ministry did not elicit an immediate response.
