NSDL Share Price Soars 6% Above Listing on First Day of Trading

National Securities Depository Ltd. (NSDL) saw its share price close 6% higher than its listing price on August 6, 2025, marking a strong debut on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). The stock listed at Rs 880 and closed at Rs 936, signaling robust investor interest.

On listing day at 10 AM, NSDL shares debuted at a 10% premium to the issue price, reflecting positive market sentiment. Throughout the trading session, the stock price experienced upward momentum, trading as high as Rs 943.85 before closing at Rs 936.

Deven Choksey, Managing Director at DRChoksey FinServ, commented on NSDL's positioning in the depository industry. He noted that NSDL, together with Central Depository Services Ltd. (CDSL), forms a depository duopoly within India's rapidly growing capital markets. With projections stating that India’s market capitalization could triple to Rs 15 trillion in three years, NSDL’s multiple revenue streams position it as a valuable long-term play. While NSDL commands a higher share of the revenue pie, CDSL holds an advantage in volume due to its retail focus.

Market data platforms such as Moneycontrol and 5paisa confirm consistent trading volumes and a bullish investor appetite for NSDL shares immediately following the IPO. NSDL’s listing is seen as a milestone for capital market infrastructure firms, with strong demand emphasizing confidence in the company’s growth prospects.

The listing comes at a time when other sectors experienced mixed performance, but NSDL’s share price was among the standout gainers. The stock’s debut and subsequent rise showcase the market’s enthusiasm for depository institutions, which play a critical role in securities settlement and custody services in India.
