One investor on X summed up the sentiment by writing, “Looks like entire India got the NSE allocation,” after comparing the outcome with other IPOs.

The reaction comes after the ₹22,569-crore NSE IPO was subscribed 5.71 times overall and attracted nearly ₹90,300 crore of demand during the issue period.

He had earlier posted: “Applied for several IPOs this week. Please note that its pure FOMO. NSE is the only company I have interest in long-term.”

Another investor, Balu Gorade (@BaluGorade), shared a similar observation:

“Going through my timeline, seems like everyone got an allotment in the NSE IPO. Anyone left out?”

Vivek (@Vivek_Investor), however, questioned the reaction, writing:

“Really? Are you guys celebrating?”

These are individual reactions on X and should not be interpreted as evidence that most or all retail applicants received an NSE IPO allotment.

The NSE IPO received bids for 50.58 crore shares against 8.86 crore shares on offer, resulting in an overall subscription of 5.71 times, according to BSE data.

The Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIB) portion was subscribed 12.68 times, while the non-institutional investor portion was subscribed 6.55 times.

In comparison, the retail investor portion was subscribed 1.39 times.

The issue generated nearly ₹90,300 crore of demand against the ₹22,568-crore issue size.

The IPO was fully subscribed on the second day of bidding.

NSE IPO listing on September 24

The NSE fixed a price band of ₹1,700-₹1,785 per share, with the upper end valuing the exchange at up to ₹4.42 lakh crore.

The IPO is entirely an Offer for Sale (OFS), meaning the proceeds from the share sale will go to existing shareholders rather than to NSE.

NSE shares are expected to make their market debut on September 24.
The public issue is India's second-largest IPO, behind Hyundai Motor India's ₹27,870-crore issue in 2024. It has also surpassed LIC's ₹21,000-crore IPO of 2022 in issue size.
