NSE IPO: The initial public offering (IPO) of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) is among the most awaited, but it has its own regulatory and legal concerns which are stopping it from getting listed.

Markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Chairperson Tuhin Kanta Pandey’s recent comment to financial wire agency Informist that the NSE IPO is "not something that cannot be sorted" has given new hope to the exchange's public issue plan.

The biggest hurdle that the initial share sale faces is the co-location case, which is currently being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

The case pertains to the alleged preferential access given to some broking companies in the form of ‘dark fibre’ at the NSE to connect across the co-location facilities before other members, giving them an unfair advantage.

SEBI and NSE are yet to reach a settlement in the case, which is pending before the Supreme Court, Moneycontrol reported.
SEBI has also flagged concerns related to NSE's technology infrastructure after several glitches and how the stock exchange handled them, Economic Times reported.

The NSE posted a 7% surge in consolidated net profit to ₹2,650 crore for the fourth quarter of the financial year 2024-25, compared to ₹2,488 crore in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.
