SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey Hints at Progress on NSE IPO: ‘Will Move Forward Soon’

In a major update for market enthusiasts and investors, SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey has confirmed that the outstanding issues related to the long-awaited NSE IPO are in the final stages of resolution. Speaking at the ASSOCHAM 16th Capital Market Conference on May 22, Pandey shared an optimistic outlook on the matter.

“We will soon go ahead with it,” said Pandey, responding to questions about when the NSE IPO might hit the market. While he didn’t share an exact timeline, his assurance indicates that the long-pending initial public offering of India’s largest stock exchange may finally gain momentum.

The NSE IPO has been under discussion for years, with multiple regulatory and governance issues delaying its launch. These include matters related to corporate governance, pending litigations, technological processes, and the role of the exchange’s clearing corporation.

“NSE and SEBI are talking. They are resolving the issues. I am very hopeful that it will be done soon and we will move forward,” Pandey told reporters during the event.

Earlier in an interview with Moneycontrol, the SEBI chief had emphasized that the regulator is actively working with the National Stock Exchange to ensure all key concerns are addressed. “Governance, technology, litigation, and the clearing corporation — all are being reviewed with a clear roadmap in mind,” he noted.

While the final nod for the NSE IPO is still pending, the recent statements from the SEBI Chairman suggest that a green signal could be on the horizon. This development is being closely watched by investors, market participants, and financial institutions across the country.

For now, the market awaits SEBI’s final word, but Pandey’s remarks have certainly sparked optimism about India’s most-anticipated IPO making progress.
