National Stock Exchange of India

Executive Summary

The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) is the largest financial market in India and one of the world’s leading exchanges by derivative trading volume. It operates a vertically integrated business model including trading, clearing, settlement, and index services. The exchange has seen explosive growth in retail participation over the last three years, leading to record-breaking revenue and strong net profit margins exceeding 60%. NSE holds a dominant market share in the Indian equity and derivatives space, making it a critical piece of national infrastructure. The IPO has been long-awaited by institutional investors but was delayed due to legacy regulatory investigations which are now largely resolved. This listing is significant as it provides a direct entry point into the structural growth of India's capital markets.
