NSE's IPO preparations
NSE filed its IPO prospectus in December 2016. In March this year, NSE sought a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from SEBI to proceed with the process of listing of shares. Earlier also NSE had written to SEBI for NOC twice in November 2019, 2020, and in August 2024. In February, SEBI had responded to NSE's NOC request, giving some comments on technology, key management personnel (KMP), ownership of clearing corporation, and lawsuits related to colocation matter. In March, NSE again appealed for NOC, responding to all these comments.
