Settlement Offer by NSE: The National Stock Exchange of India has proposed a settlement of 13.88 billion rupees ($160 million) to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to resolve a legal dispute, allowing it to proceed with its long-awaited initial public offering (IPO).
Regulatory Challenges: The NSE has faced ongoing litigation with SEBI since 2019 due to a fine for not providing equitable access to trading members, and is currently negotiating an out-of-court settlement while undergoing inspections of its internal processes before receiving a no-objection certificate for the IPO.
