NSDL IPO opens on July 30, offering potential 39,900% returns for early institutional investors like SBI, whose ₹2 per share investment now stands at ₹800.
The largest depository in India, NSDL, is set to make a lot of money for its stockholders through its impending initial public offering (IPO). SBI, IDBI Bank, NSE, HDFC Bank, and other institutional investors will receive a return on their initial investment of up to 39,900%.
Investors paid ₹2 for each share of NSDL, which is currently worth ₹800. For its IPO, NSDL has established a price range of ₹760 to ₹800 per share. Its shares are now trading at ₹1,025 on the unlisted market.
July 30 is when the IPO will open.
On July 30, 2025, the NSDL IPO will start, and on August 1, 2025, it will close. On July 29, the anchor investor bidding will begin one day earlier.
18 shares is the minimum lot, and ₹14,400 (₹800 x 18) is needed.
Retail Investors: Up to 13 lots (234 shares) may be applied for.
85,000 shares are earmarked for employees, who will receive a discount of ₹76 per share.
The share price is 22% lower than in the unlisted market.
The share price range given by NSDL is between ₹760 and ₹800, which is 22% below the unlisted market price of ₹1,025. Previously, its shares peaked at ₹1,275 on the unlisted market.
Other businesses that offered IPOs at reduced costs compared to the unlisted market rate
This has been observed previously. Additionally, firms such as PB Fintech, HDB Financial Services, and Tata Technology made their initial public offerings (IPO) prices lower than those of the unlisted market. The benefit of this is that there may be a notable spike in the share price at listing.
How is the business doing financially?
During the 2024–2025 fiscal year (FY25), the business:
Net Profit: ₹343.12 crore, a 24.57% increase over ₹275.45 crore in the previous year.
Revenue: ₹1,535.19 crore, 12.41% higher than ₹1,365.71 crore in FY24.
Market Cap: The market capitalisation will be around ₹16,000 crore at the highest price range of ₹800.
At 46.62, the company’s price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is lower than that of its rival, Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL), which is 66.63.
Is investing in an IPO a good idea?
Investors looking to make long-term investments may find that NSDL’s IPO presents a favourable opportunity. The company has a solid business plan because it plays a significant role in the expanding Indian stock market. The P/E ratio indicates that its value is less expensive than CDSL’s.
The unlisted market also exhibits a respectable premium. However, make sure to speak with your financial advisor and monitor the state of the market before making any investments.
Prior to investing in NSDL, bear the following two points in mind:
Market volatility: Listings may be impacted by changes in the primary market.
Risk of the grey market: Because GMP is unofficial, do not rely solely on it.

On August 4, 2025, the IPO allocation will be resolved, and on August 6, 2025, the shares will be offered on the National Stock Exchange and the Bombay Stock Exchange.
What does NSDL do and what is it?
A depository is NSDL. It functions to maintain digital copies of shares, bonds, and other securities in your demat account.
NSDL protects shares in a demat account in the same way as a bank does with your money. This business was founded in 1996 and is currently the biggest depository in the nation.
