NSE ranks fourth on the global IPO offering league table in H1-2025
India’s National Stock Exchange (NSE) ranked fourth on the global IPO (initial public offer) league table in the first half of calendar year 2025 (H1-CY25), with a fund offering at $5.51 billion, according to a note from S&P Global Market Intelligence. This is 8.9 percent of the worldwide aggregate IPO fundraising in the first half of 2025 of $61.95 billion, data shows.
The top three spots as regards offerings were occupied by the Nasdaq Global Market, NYSE and the Nasdaq Global Select Market that offered to raise $28.95 billion in H1-CY25, which is a staggering 46.73 percent of worldwide aggregate IPO fundraising.
This strong performance comes at a time when expectations are rising for NSE's own public listing -- a long-anticipated move that could mark a historic moment in India's capital markets. SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey recently confirmed that there are "no obstacles" remaining for NSE to proceed with its IPO plans. While attention remains focused on NSE's IPO, SEBI has also tightened its oversight of the broader IPO market.
