The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) is preparing for a significant public debut with its ₹22,561.57 crore Initial Public Offering (IPO). This move brings one of India's largest market-infrastructure institutions to public markets, drawing attention to its vast scale and commanding presence in the nation's financial landscape.
An analysis by Angel One highlights the sheer size and market leadership of the NSE, which will offer up to 12.64 crore equity shares through a pure Offer for Sale. Here are 10 key figures that illustrate the National Stock Exchange's extensive reach and operational dominance as of June 30, 2026, unless otherwise specified:
Key Numbers Defining NSE's Market Footprint
- 26.14 Crore Registered Investor Accounts: As of mid-2026, NSE boasted 261.36 million registered investor accounts, showcasing its broad investor base.
- 13.24 Crore Unique Investors: This figure represents the number of distinct individuals or entities investing through the exchange, indicating a robust retail and institutional investor presence.
- 3,005 Listed Entities: The NSE provides a platform for trading in the shares of over 3,000 companies, offering a diverse array of investment opportunities.
- ₹474.08 Lakh Crore Market Capitalisation: The total market value of all companies listed on the NSE stood at an impressive ₹474.08 trillion, or ₹474.08 lakh crore.
- 1,328 Trading Members: An extensive network of 1,328 trading members facilitates transactions on the exchange, underscoring its broad intermediary reach.
- 92.99% Cash-Market Share (FY26): The NSE dominated India's cash market, handling nearly 93% of all activity in the fiscal year 2026.
- 99.79% Equity-Futures Share (FY26): Its leadership was even more pronounced in equity futures, where NSE commanded almost 100% of the market share.
- 74.71% Equity-Options Share (FY26): While still dominant, NSE held a 74.71% share of equity options by premium turnover in FY26, though this moderated to 68.48% in Q1FY27.
- ₹16,601 Crore Revenue (FY26): The exchange reported revenues of ₹16,601.31 crore from operations in FY26. However, revenue saw a 3.15% year-on-year decline, with operating EBITDA falling 12.25% to ₹11,097.90 crore.
- ₹22,561.57 Crore IPO Valuation: The upcoming IPO is valued at ₹22,561.57 crore. Notably, the NSE itself will not receive any proceeds from this Offer for Sale, which is scheduled for subscription from September 17–21, 2026, with listing on September 24.
Significance and Future Outlook
These figures highlight more than just the NSE's operational scale; they reflect its integral role in India's financial system. Transaction charges, particularly from options trading, constituted a significant portion (78.65%) of its FY26 revenue, with options alone contributing 60.22%.
The Angel One report also points to the robust structural growth within India's capital markets, projecting a 14–16% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for cash-market turnover through FY30. However, potential risks such as regulatory changes, increased Securities Transaction Tax (STT), and fluctuations in trading volumes could impact NSE's future earnings.
