NSE IPO latest buzz: BSE share price jumps 4.5%; here is how other capital market stocks are faring

According to news reports, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey said last week that the regulator is at an advanced stage of issuing the No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the National Stock Exchange’s (NSE) initial public offering (IPO) and that it "may be done within this month."

Pandey’s remarks were made on the sidelines of an event in Chennai and signal progress in the much-anticipated IPO.

Chauhan also pointed out that NSE already has a large public base with about 1.72 lakh shareholders and no promoter stake, which shows that "the exchange is institutionally positioned for listing once regulatory clearances are in place," Moneycontrol reported.

How are capital market stocks faring?

Besides BSE, which was trading with impressive gains, other capital market stocks were mixed in the trade.

Central Depository Services (India) Ltd, or CDSL, shares were trading nearly 0.7% higher at ₹1,418.90 apiece on the NSE, while National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL) stock was down around 1% at ₹1,028.85.

Computer Age Management Services (CAMS) shares were also down 1.55% at ₹716.10 on the NSE.

NSE Q2 FY26 earnings

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) reported a 33% year-on-year (YoY) decline in consolidated profit after tax (PAT) to ₹2,098 crore for the September quarter of the fiscal year 2025-26 (FY26).

It had posted a PAT of ₹3,137 crore in the same quarter last year.

Excluding a provision of ₹1,297 crore made towards the settlement applications filed with the markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) under the Settlement Regulations, the exchange's adjusted PAT stood at ₹3,396 crore, marking a 16 per cent sequential rise, NSE said in a statement.

"NSE has recognised a provision of ₹1,297 crore in Q2 FY26, including interest, towards the settlement applications that NSE had filed with SEBI under SEBI (Settlement Regulations) 2018 with respect to colocation and dark fibre matters.

A revert from SEBI on the above-mentioned applications is awaited, of which the future outcome is uncertain at this stage, the exchange said.
