The buzz about one of the most anticipated IPOs has been the NSE IPO. Market participants of all kinds have been eagerly waiting for the NSE IPO for quite some time now. However, due to technicalities, it has not been finalised yet.
The talk on NSE IPO has once again gained momentum after the SEBI Chairperson Tuhin Kanta Pandey gave an important update on it. As all kinds of market participants, be it investors, market watchers, or industry experts, have been waiting for clarity on the possible NSE IPO, Pandey’s latest remarks offer a reassuring and transparent outlook on what lies ahead.
SEBI Begins Review of Key Listing Regulations
SEBI Chief Tuhin Kanta Pandey has revealed that SEBI has officially begun the process of reviewing the Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements (LODR) regulations for NSE IPO. He was speaking at the CII Financing National Summit in Mumbai recently.
He elaborated that the review process is a detailed and structured exercise that includes consultations with multiple stakeholders before any final decisions are taken. SEBI will release a consultation paper very soon, which is expected to invite public and industry feedback—ensuring that the updated framework reflects the needs of the evolving capital market.
NOC Will Come ‘At the Appropriate Time’
One of the biggest questions in the market today concerns the No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the NSE IPO. Pandey said that the regulator will provide clear communication “at the appropriate time,” indicating that the process is ongoing and that stakeholders can expect transparent updates as decisions take shape.

SEBI Responds to Concerns Over IPOs as Exit Routes
Recently, Chief Economic Adviser V Anantha Nageswaran raised concerns that IPOs today are often used more as exit avenues for early investors rather than for raising fresh capital.
Responding to this, Pandey highlighted that SEBI has already taken steps to strengthen the regulatory framework. Important metrics have been refined. He cited examples about Open Interest, which was earlier used in assessments, has now been replaced with the delta metric. According to him, this shift allows for more accurate evaluations of market behaviour and pricing patterns.
Pandey also clarified that IPOs naturally serve multiple roles. While many mature companies use IPOs to provide exits to early investors (often after years of value creation), others list to raise funds for greenfield projects or expansion plans.
“All Types of IPOs Should Have Space in the Market”
Pandey underlined that SEBI has an inclusive and balanced approach. The point of view of SEBI is that the capital market should be open to all varieties of IPOs—whether they are for fundraising, partial exits, or a combination of both.
He also said that a mature financial ecosystem should allow companies of different stages, sizes, and intentions to access the public market without unnecessary barriers.
What This Means for Investors
SEBI chief’s speech at the event brings a sense of stability and clarity at a time when investors are keenly watching the NSE IPO developments. SEBI’s focus on transparency, improved evaluation metrics, and inclusive policy direction signals a more robust and user-friendly capital market environment.
