Day 2 of the NSDL IPO Current Events for July 31st: The public offering of NSDL, the biggest and oldest depository in India, is on its second day. One of the year’s most anticipated listings is the Rs 4,011 crore IPO. Only an Offer for Sale (OFS) of 5.01 crore shares by current stakeholders, such as IDBI Bank, SBI, NSE, HDFC Bank, and Union Bank, is included in this mainboard offering.
Since it is an OFS in all aspects, NSDL will not profit from the deal. Meeting SEBI’s ownership rules and giving early investors a partial exit option are the goals. Anchor investors including LIC, ADIA, SBI Mutual Fund, and Fidelity Funds helped NSDL raise Rs 1,201 crore prior to the IPO launch. LIC alone made a noteworthy investment of around Rs 144 crore in the anchor section.

“We see value in NSDL’s IPO, which is priced at 46.6x TTM P/E—at a discount to its listed peer trading at 64.1x TTM P/E,” said Deven Choksey Research in its IPO note. With its increasing emphasis on creating retail demat accounts by strengthening relationships with discount brokers and cutting-edge depository participants, particularly in underserved areas, we think NSDL is well-positioned for better performance over the next three to five years.
