NSE IPO coming soon: Should investors buy unlisted shares now or wait for the mega issue?

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) is planning to go public with an initial public offering (IPO) in the second half of September. This has left investors wondering whether they should buy the exchange's unlisted shares now or wait for the public issue. The current price of unlisted NSE shares is around Rs 2,015, which is relatively stable compared to the past year's trading range of Rs 1,800 to Rs 2,150.

Why it matters

Investors are weighing the option to buy unlisted shares of NSE or wait for the public issue. The decision depends on the expected listing gains and the current market price of unlisted shares.
