NSDL Stock Listing: As the country’s largest depository made its debut on the equity markets, many investors who received allotments in the public issue are now wondering what to do with NSDL shares after a reasonable listing gain. The capital market stock debuted on Dalal Street with a 10 per cent premium and ended over 17 per cent higher at Rs 936.95 apiece on the BSE on its listing day, Wednesday, August 6, 2025.
What should investors do with NSDL stock after listing?
Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi had earlier recommended subscribing to the NSDL IPO, citing the potential for moderate listing gains and a strong long-term investment case.
Following the stock’s debut, Singhvi advised short-term investors to maintain a stop-loss below Rs 875 to manage downside risk.
For long-term investors, however, Singhvi’s view remains positive, recommending a hold on the stock, supported by the company’s solid fundamentals and growth prospects.
With this listing, NSDL becomes the second depository services provider to be publicly listed in India, after its peer Central Depository Services Ltd (CDSL).
