As the big day for India’s largest stock exchange IPO approaches, it’s creating quite a buzz among investors. The National Stock Exchange (NSE) is currently valued at a whopping Rs 5.37 lakh crore, with shares trading at Rs 2,389 in the unlisted market. Now, all eyes are on the key players who stand to gain the most from this much-anticipated listing.
At the forefront of the scene is LIC, which stands as India’s largest insurance company and the biggest public sector stakeholder in the NSE. With a 10.72 percent stake, LIC’s investment is now valued at over Rs 59,600 crore, based on the current unlisted market valuation.
Next up is the Stock Holding Corporation, a somewhat lesser-known but strategically important state-run entity. It holds a 4.44 percent stake, currently valued at around Rs 25,000 crore, making it one of the top institutional players in the game.
The State Bank of India also makes a significant mark, both directly and through its subsidiaries. SBI Capital Markets owns 4.33 percent of NSE, valued at over Rs 24,000 crore, while SBI itself holds an additional 3.23 percent, estimated to be close to Rs 18,000 crore.
Rounding out the list is the General Insurance Corporation of India, which has a 1.64 percent stake, currently valued at Rs 9,118 crore.With such high stakes in the NSE, these institutions aren’t just sitting back as shareholders; they’re poised to be the biggest winners from one of India’s most eagerly awaited IPOs in recent years.
As the NSE gears up to go public, these early investors stand to unlock tremendous value, turning this IPO into a potential bonanza for some of India’s largest financial institutions.
