πŸ“ˆ NSDL Unlisted Shares Jump 40% Ahead of IPO: What’s Fueling the Frenzy?



Investors are showing heightened interest in NSDL’s unlisted shares, with prices soaring nearly 40% in just two months. From ₹995 in April, NSDL’s shares are now trading around ₹1,250 in the grey market — a surge that reflects strong sentiment ahead of its much-anticipated IPO expected in July 2025.

While the official IPO date is yet to be confirmed, market buzz and strategic developments are triggering this pre-IPO rally. Here’s a look at the four key factors driving the spike in NSDL’s unlisted share prices:


πŸ”„ 1. Simplified Transfer of Unlisted Shares

A game-changing reform has simplified how investors buy and sell unlisted shares. NSDL has enabled trade settlement via CDSL, streamlining the process and removing the earlier need for approvals from market intermediaries and SEBI.

✅ This smoother transaction system has increased liquidity and investor confidence, directly contributing to rising demand.


πŸ“Š 2. Broader Rally in Exchange-Linked Stocks

NSDL’s rise isn’t isolated. A wider rally is underway across the stock exchange-related sector in the unlisted space:

  • NSE unlisted shares have surged to ₹2,370 from ₹1,575 just a month ago.

  • NCDEX too has seen price momentum, reflecting broader investor optimism.

🧠 Market trend alert: Investors are betting on the future of market infrastructure companies, riding the wave of digitization and rising retail participation.


πŸ’Ό 3. Strong Q4FY25 Financial Results

NSDL’s robust financials are another major trigger:

  • Net Profit (Q4FY25): ₹83.3 crore, up 4.77% YoY

  • Total Income: ₹394 crore, up 9.94% YoY

Such strong results signal a healthy business model and sustainable earnings growth, making the stock more attractive to pre-IPO investors.


πŸ“… IPO Countdown: What’s Next?

The IPO size has been revised down to 50.15 million shares (from 57.26 million originally). With growing investor appetite and rising pre-IPO valuations, the NSDL IPO in July could see a strong subscription — both from institutional and retail investors.
