NSDL shares to list today. Check key details
The depository’s public issue solely consists of an offer for sale (OFS) component of 5.01 crore shares, and those selling shares under this are National Stock Exchange of India (NSE), State Bank of India (SBI), HDFC Bank, IDBI Bank, Union Bank of India, and Administrator of Specified Undertaking of the Unit Trust of India (SUUTI).
Since the public issue is entirely an OFS, NSDL will not receive any proceeds from the IPO.
The upcoming listing will make NSDL the country’s second publicly traded depository after Central Depository Services Ltd (CDSL), which was listed on the NSE in 2017.
NSDL is a Sebi-registered market infrastructure institution offering a wide range of products and services to the financial and securities markets in India. Following the introduction of the Depositories Act in 1996, it pioneered the dematerialisation of securities in India in November 1996.
ICICI Securities, Axis Capital, HSBC Securities and Capital Markets (India), IDBI Capital Markets & Securities, Motilal Oswal Investment Advisors and SBI Capital Markets are the book-running lead managers to the issue. Shares of NSDL are expected to list on August 6.
