The National Stock Exchange’s initial public offering, which drew bids worth more than five times the shares on offer, is set to have its share allotment finalized today. Investors can now check whether they received shares through either the BSE website or the website of the issue’s registrar, MUFG. On the other side, the mood in the grey market has cooled sharply, with the unofficial premium falling to just a fraction of what it was before the issue opened. Here is a complete breakdown of the allotment process, the latest GMP update, subscription numbers, and the listing timeline.
NSE IPO Allotment Date And Listing Timeline
The basis of allotment for the NSE IPO is being finalized today, September 22. The issue was open for public subscription from September 17 to September 21, and going by the current schedule, NSE shares are set to make their stock market debut on the BSE on September 24. As with any IPO, investors should watch for official confirmation closer to the listing date, since exact timelines can still shift.

NSE IPO Grey Market Premium Falls Sharply
While the allotment process moves forward, the mood around the issue in the unlisted, unofficial grey market has weakened considerably. NSE shares are currently commanding a grey market premium of around Rs 54 over the upper end of the IPO price band, which works out to about 3.03 percent. This marks a steep decline from the period just before the issue opened for subscription, when the grey market premium had touched around Rs 310, or more than 17 percent, over the price band.
Grey market premium refers to the price at which IPO shares are traded unofficially before they are formally listed on a stock exchange, and it is often watched informally as an early indicator of possible listing performance. It is important to note that this is an unregulated, over the counter indicator, not an official metric. According to market experts, actual listing gains for NSE will depend more on the exchange’s underlying business health and overall market conditions on the day of listing than on signals from the grey market alone.
How Much Was The NSE IPO Subscribed
The NSE IPO received a strong overall response from investors, getting subscribed 5.71 times in total. Within this, the portion reserved for qualified institutional buyers was subscribed 12.68 times, excluding the anchor portion. The non institutional investor category was subscribed 6.55 times, while the retail investor portion was subscribed 1.39 times. The portion set aside for employees saw demand of 2.40 times.
Why NSE Will Not Receive Any Money From This IPO
The NSE IPO did not involve the issuance of any new shares. Instead, the entire issue was structured as an offer for sale, under which existing shareholders sold 12,64,36,650 shares, or roughly 12.64 crore shares, each with a face value of Re 1. Because no fresh shares were issued, NSE itself will not receive any proceeds from the offering. Instead, the money raised through the IPO goes to the shareholders who sold their holdings through the offer for sale window.
