The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is poised to grant regulatory clearance for the long-awaited initial public offering (IPO) of the National Stock Exchange (NSE), with the regulator\u2019s approval expected by the end of January. SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey indicated that the market watchdog is at an advanced stage of issuing a <\/span>No Objection Certificate (NOC)<\/span><\/i> to the bourse, a critical step that could finally unlock the exchange\u2019s nearly decade-long listing efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking at a press event, Pandey said SEBI may issue the NOC within this month, after which NSE can proceed with preparations for its public debut. His remarks fuel optimism among investors and market participants who have awaited clarity following years of regulatory and legal uncertainty.<\/span><\/p>\n

The NSE\u2019s IPO has been stalled since its initial application, largely due to governance concerns and disputes over alleged preferential access granted to select traders via co-location facilities \u2014 issues that drew SEBI scrutiny and delayed approvals.<\/span><\/p>\n

SEBI\u2019s anticipated decision comes as the exchange has taken steps to resolve outstanding matters, including compliance and settlement efforts. If the NOC is granted as expected, NSE will begin drafting its IPO prospectus and move closer to one of the most significant market listings in India.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
