NSE's dilemma with going public

Aug 24, 2026 · 8m

Summary

This episode examines the National Stock Exchange’s upcoming IPO, highlighting the regulatory hurdle preventing it from listing its own shares on its platform. To resolve this, NSE plans to list on the BSE while using the "permitted to trade" mechanism to allow trading on its own exchange, potentially enabling inclusion in Nifty indices. The discussion also covers SEBI’s efforts to separate commercial interests from regulatory duties to maintain market integrity and financial stability.
