NSE slashes IPO size from Rs.30,000-Cr to Rs.23,000-Cr
The National Stock Exchange (NSE) has filed an updated draft red herring prospectus (UDRHP). The proposed initial public offering (IPO) size is now estimated at about INR 23,000-Cr, a reduction from the initial INR 30,000-Cr figure outlined in the draft prospectus filed in June.The offering remains an entirely offer-for-sale (OFS) structure, to allow existing shareholders divest their stakes. The exchange will not receive any proceeds from the issue. The initial proposal involved the sale of 14.89 crore shares, representing roughly 6% of the equity of the company.The reduction in the IPO size follows a decision by public-sector insurance companies, including General Insurance Corporation of India, New India Assurance, National Insurance Company, and United India Insurance Company, to lower the number of shares they intended to sell. MS Strategic (Mauritius), an entity linked to Morgan Stanley, also reduced its planned share offering.
