Should you invest in the NSE IPO? Here are the key pros and cons

NSE has filed its DRHP with SEBI, formally launching its much-awaited IPO process. The issue is expected to raise around Rs 30,000 crore at a valuation exceeding Rs 5 trillion, potentially making it the largest IPO in Indian market history, surpassing Hyundai Motor India. The 100 percent Offer for Sale of about 6 percent equity is targeted for listing on BSE by late 2026, though the company's heavy revenue dependence on options trading (around 60 percent of operating income) remains a key risk.
