NSE made a muted stock-market debut on Tuesday, listing at just about 0.8% premium to its IPO price, putting India’s largest exchange among the weakest listings in the Rs 10,000 crore-plus IPO club.
The stock listed around Rs 1,800 against the upper issue price of Rs 1,785, giving investors only a small listing gain. The tepid debut came despite strong institutional interest in the Rs 22,561.57 crore public issue and the exchange’s dominant position in India’s capital-market ecosystem.
