Top financial institutions are managing the issue, with ICICI Securities Ltd., Axis Capital Ltd., HSBC Holdings Plc, and IDBI Capital acting as the book-running lead managers.
Once launched, the NSDL IPO is expected to be closely watched by both institutional and retail investors, given the company’s pivotal role in India’s capital market infrastructure.
NSDL, which was established in August 1996, has established itself as a state-of-the-art infrastructure that handles most of the securities held and settled in dematerialised form in the Indian capital market. Though India had a vibrant capital market that is more than a century old, the paper-based settlement of trades caused substantial problems like bad delivery and delayed transfer of title, etc.
NSDL’s rival CDSL is already listed on the stock exchanges.
