NSDL IPO: What GMP signals ahead of launch and what it means for investors

Economic Times3 days ago
The upcoming Initial Public Offering (IPO) of National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL), one of the most awaited IPOs, is trading with a grey market premium (GMP) in the range of Rs 135 to Rs 140 per share. At the upper end of the IPO price band of Rs 800, this translates to a premium of 16.88%, reflecting bullish investor sentiment and expectations of a robust listing performance.
ADVERTISEMENT GMPs, though unofficial and based on grey market trading, are often seen as a barometer of investor enthusiasm ahead of a public listing. A premium of this magnitude suggests that NSDL's IPO could deliver healthy listing gains, especially given the company's critical role in India's financial infrastructure and its prominent institutional backing.
The NSDL IPO opens for public subscription on July 30, 2025, and closes on August 1, 2025, with anchor bidding scheduled for July 29. The company aims to raise Rs 4,011.6 crore through this offer, priced between Rs 760 and Rs 800 per share.
Retail investors can bid in a lot size of 18 shares, requiring a minimum investment of Rs 14,400.
Backed by marquee stakeholders such as SBI, IDBI Bank, NSE, HDFC Bank, Union Bank of India, and SUUTI, NSDL's IPO will see these institutions offload part of their holdings.
ADVERTISEMENT Notably, SBI is offloading 40 lakh shares bought at Rs 2 each, potentially netting Rs 320 crore, while IDBI Bank stands to realize Rs 1,776 crore from its 2.22 crore shares, also bought at Rs 2. SUUTI, which had invested just Rs 68.3 lakh in its 34.15 lakh shares, is expected to generate Rs 273.2 crore from the sale.Even HDFC Bank, which acquired its stake at a higher price of Rs 108.29 per share, will see a significant return of around 638%.

The allotment of shares is slated for August 4, and listing is scheduled for August 6, 2025. The IPO is being managed by a consortium of top financial institutions, including ICICI Securities, Axis Capital, HSBC Securities, IDBI Capital, Motilal Oswal Investment Advisors, and SBI Capital Markets.
ADVERTISEMENT As India's first and one of its largest depositories, NSDL's IPO marks a key moment for the country's capital market ecosystem. With strong institutional backing, a solid GMP, and a clear growth narrative, all eyes will be on how the stock performs on debut.

641 Million Litres Of Untreated Sewage Entering Yamuna From Delhi Each Day

The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) has estimated that 641 million litres of untreated sewage per day enter the Yamuna from the capital, worsening pollution in the key water body. As of June 2025, the 37 sewage treatment plants in operation, which have a combined capacity of 3,474 million litres per day (MLD), were only treating 2,955 MLD of the 3,596 MLD of sewage generated by the city. Of these, 14 STPs were non-compliant with the Delhi Pollution Control Committee standards. The Central Pollution Control Board conducts monthly assessments of the Yamuna's water quality at Palla, Nizamuddin Bridge, and Okhla Barrage as part of the National Water Quality Monitoring Programme, measuring factors such as biochemical oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen, and faecal coliform since January 2025. In 2024, the CPCB evaluated 189 grossly polluting industries within the Yamuna basin, releasing 1.33 million liters per day (MLD) of treated wastewater, which contributed a pollution load of 0.046 tonnes per day in biochemical oxygen demand. Out of the 158 operational grossly polluting industries, 49 were found to be in violation of discharge regulations or did not possess valid consent, resulting in the issuance of 40 show-cause notices and nine directives for closure from State Pollution Control Boards/Pollution Control Committees. Under the Namami Gange Programme, nine projects costing Rs 1,951 crores have been completed, creating a sewerage treatment capacity of 1,268 MLD. Since January 2025, Rs 140 crore has been allocated for Yamuna cleaning by the National Mission for Clean Ganga and the Government of NCT of Delhi, with Rs 108.31 crores utilised. The Ministry of Jal Shakti is supporting Yamuna rejuvenation through financial aid to Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi, and Uttar Pradesh. Projects at various stages of planning, construction, and completion are being closely monitored, said Minister of State for Jal Shakti, Shri Raj Bhushan Choudhary, in a written reply in Lok Sabha on Thursday.

Shimla: The Himachal Pradesh Cabinet on Thursday decided to introduce reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBC) in Urban Local Bodies in the upcoming elections and gave nod to operation of lotteries in the state. The cabinet meeting presided over by Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu also recommended the governor to convene the Monsoon Session of Vidhan Sabha from August 18 to September 2, the government in a statement said. So far there is reservation for women, Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes in the Urban Local Bodies elections. A Backward Classes Commission would now be constituted for compiling the accurate data of OBC before finalising the reservation roster.

The cabinet granted an ex post facto approval to grant rent money in aid to families affected by natural disasters living in relief camps. Families in rural areas would get Rs 5,000 and urban areas Rs 10,000 each month in their bank accounts for a maximum of six months. The cabinet ordered posting of two home guards each at distilleries, bottling and brewery plants to check illegal activities there. It approved the auction of 10 minor mineral quarries in Kangra district and the re-auction of 11 such quarries in Bilaspur district - the move is expected to generate Rs 18.82 crore in revenue, the government said. The cabinet also approved setting up of a Tourism Investment Promotion Council, to be headed by the chief minister, to oversee projects with investment of over Rs 50 crore. The Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) was empowered to issue a HIM bus card to eligible commuters. The cabinet announced the launch of Phase-II of the Himachal Pradesh Sadbhawana Legacy Cases Resolution Scheme, 2025, for a period of three months from September 1 to resolve around 30,000 pending tax cases.
