NSE has paid ₹40.35 crore to SEBI to settle a case on early data sharing.

SEBI found NSE shared key company updates with a vendor before public release.

The data was leaked via NSE’s subsidiary, NDML, violating norms.

This settlement helps clear legal issues before NSE’s awaited IPO.

NSE still faces co-location and dark fiber cases from earlier probes.

It has proposed a ₹1,388 crore settlement for those pending matters.

SEBI is currently reviewing those bigger applications.

The ₹40 crore move is seen as a goodwill step by the exchange.

Experts believe this could improve investor trust in NSE.

NSE is India’s largest stock exchange and aims to go public soon.
