NSE had applied for a no objection certificate (NOC) from Market regulator SEBI for the exchange to submit a paper for its IPO. NSE had previously gotten approval from SEBI for its IPO. However, the regulator imposed a six-month ban in 2019 which it maintained due to complications with NSE’s co-location facilities.
