SBI, IFCI, GIC, and Bank of Baroda Share Price in Focus Post SEBI Nod to NSE IPO

The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) has received regulatory clearance for its highly anticipated ₹30,000 crore initial public offering (IPO), marking it as potentially the country's biggest IPO, as per news reports.  

This approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) sets the market abuzz, drawing particular attention to shares of State Bank of India (SBI), IFCI, General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC), and Bank of Baroda due to their involvement as significant shareholders. 

NSE's Landmark Initial Public Offering 

With an offer-for-sale (OFS) structure, the NSE's IPO permits existing shareholders to sell their stakes. SBI, as the largest listed selling shareholder, plans to divest approximately 2.47 crore shares.  

Similarly, New India Assurance (NIACL) and GIC aim to offload around 1.05 crore and 1.1 crore shares, respectively. Bank of Baroda is also set to market about 1.1 crore shares. The offering comprises 14.89 crore shares. 

The involvement of these financial institutions represents a window to release considerable value, as they have low acquisition costs of NSE shares. The IPO is especially impactful for SBI and the public sector unit (PSU) insurers. 

Financial Performance and Preparation 

The NSE aims for a public issue launch on September 15, 2026, seeking a listing by September 24-25, prior to the Pitru Paksha period starting on September 26, 2026.  

At this strategic juncture, the NSE's Q1 FY27 earnings report reveals a 7% rise in consolidated profit after tax (PAT) to ₹3,120 crore, driven by enhanced operating income.
