The BSE index fell 2.5% from its daily high on August 20, 2026, following reports that the National Stock Exchange (NSE) plans to allow trading of its own shares on its platform.
The NSE is reportedly seeking a valuation of up to $55 billion for its upcoming record-breaking IPO, which is expected to be worth approximately ₹30,000 crore.
Market sentiment remains volatile as investors weigh the impact of the NSE's potential self-listing on the broader Indian financial market structure.
