NSE listing today in numbers: time, price band and GMP Rs 43
NSE makes its stock market debut on 24 September 2026 on BSE, with trading also allowed on MSEI in the permitted to trade category. Livemint reported listing at 10:00 AM IST. The price band was Rs 1,700 to Rs 1,785 per share, face value Re 1, lot size 8 shares. At the upper band, one retail lot needed Rs 14,280.
The offer is a pure offer for sale of 12.64 crore shares, worth about Rs 22,561 crore to Rs 22,568 crore across reports. There is no fresh issue, so the company gets no proceeds. Funds go to selling shareholders. Allotment was finalised on 22 September and credit to demat account was due on 23 September, as reported by Moneycontrol.
GMP today sits near Rs 40 to Rs 43, about 2.2 to 2.4 percent over Rs 1,785. Economic Times put the premium at 2.2 percent with an estimated price near Rs 1,825. Moneycontrol put it at Rs 43 with an implied price near Rs 1,828. NDTV Profit reported Rs 40 with an estimated price near Rs 1,825. The range points to a modest start, far below the early hype.

Why GMP fell from Rs 285 and 21 percent to Rs 43
On 17 September, GMP was reported near Rs 285 and around 21 percent. By 22 September it was Rs 45.5. On listing morning it was Rs 40 to Rs 43. That is a drop of about 85 percent in premium in one week. The fall matters because many readers track GMP as a mood meter before listing.
Three reported reasons stand out. First, size and valuation checks. A Rs 22,561 crore offer is the second largest in India after Hyundai Motor India, and large supply needs fresh buying to hold gains. Hindustan Times and Mint noted valuation jitters after early excitement. Second, retail stayed selective at 1.39 times while QIB demand stayed heavy at 12.7 times, with NPS Trust, LIC, BNP Paribas, Societe Generale and top mutual funds leading. Third, global mood turned risk averse into listing day, with US yields at multi year highs and crude near 102 dollars.
History of exchange listings gives mixed cues. Reports recalled that MCX and BSE listed with strong premiums while IEX opened soft. Bankers quoted in Mint said there were no concerns about a weak listing, even as brokers flagged near term consolidation. For a demat account holder, the practical check is simple. Confirm credit in your demat account and trading account before market open, keep the allotment mail ready, and track the pre-open price rather than only the grey market number.
Sensex Nifty today: 74,828 close meets gap-down signal
Wednesday closed firm. Sensex rose 299.17 points or 0.40 percent to 74,828.25. Nifty gained 117.80 points or 0.50 percent to 23,446.80. Bank Nifty added 333.35 points or 0.59 percent to 56,548.90. Nifty Metal led with a 2.40 percent rise to 13,302.35. Nifty IT was the only major loser, down 0.87 percent to 28,334.05. India VIX fell sharply to 10.37, which usually supports a calm open unless global news hits.
Thursday setup looks softer. GIFT Nifty traded near 23,258 around 7:45 AM, down about 187 points or 0.8 percent, as reported by Moneycontrol. At 9:15 AM, Livemint reported Sensex at 74,182.62, down 0.21 percent, and Nifty at 23,195.25, down 0.1 percent. Eight of 16 sector indices opened lower, with Nifty IT down 0.5 percent in early trade.
Reported levels for the day are clear. Nifty support sits near 23,350 and 23,285. Resistance sits at 23,489 to 23,600, with 23,500 as the first cap and 23,600 as the key test for a stronger rebound. A hold above 23,285 keeps the 23,600 test open. A break below 23,285 can drag the index back toward the weak zone formed on 15 September. Bank Nifty support is near 56,000, with 56,700 to 57,300 as the upper band cited across desks.

| Nifty previous close | 23,446.80, up 117.80 points |
| Bank Nifty previous close | 56,548.90, up 0.59 percent |
| GIFT Nifty signal | Near 23,258, down about 187 points |
| Early trade 9:15 AM | Sensex 74,182.62, Nifty 23,195.25 |
| Rupee and oil | Rupee past 96, Brent near 101.95 dollars, up 2.72 percent |
| US trigger | Fed 3.75 to 4.00 percent, 10-year at multi year high, Oct hike odds near 66 percent |
Rupee past 96 and crude near 102: double pressure on Nifty
Rupee weakened past 96 per dollar for the first time since 27 July 2026. Reports put Wednesday close near 95.96 and Thursday range at 95.75 to 96.20. The fall is sharp. From 94.43 on 4 September, the rupee lost about 113 paise in five sessions. FII sales of Rs 2,032.61 crore on Wednesday added to importer dollar demand.
Crude adds to the same stress. Brent was reported at 101.95 dollars, up 2.72 percent, after trading near 104 to 105 dollars in recent sessions. WTI held above 90 dollars. India imports a large share of oil, so high crude lifts fuel, transport and input costs, widens the trade gap and feeds inflation with a lag. That chain hurts airlines, paints, tyres, logistics and oil marketing firms first, while upstream producers can gain.
Reuters and bond market reports point to RBI action to smooth sharp moves, but not to defend a fixed level. The 10-year bond yield near 7.0686 percent after five weekly gains shows that debt desks already price tight liquidity and oil risk. RBI sold about Rs 500 billion in shorter bonds in the prior week, its first net sale by auction since 2017, to drain surplus cash. For readers, the link is direct. A weak rupee plus high crude often caps Nifty upside even on strong domestic buying.
Fed hike to 4 percent: FII selling, IT drag and loan signal
The Fed raised rates by 25 bps in September 2026 to 3.75 to 4.00 percent. It was the first hike in over three years, passed 12 to 0, with 16 of 18 officials expecting at least one more hike by year end. US business activity hit a five year high in September, which pushed the 10-year yield to its highest since 2007 and lifted October hike odds to about 66 percent.
India felt the spillover fast. FIIs sold Rs 23,676 crore in the first 19 days of September in cash markets, while DIIs bought over Rs 36,000 crore with mutual fund SIP support near Rs 32,297 crore in August. The DII bid gave a floor but could not lift Nifty for five weeks, which shows the weight of foreign flows on large caps, banks and IT.
Nifty IT weakness is the clearest channel. Higher US borrowing costs can delay client tech budgets, so software exporters fall even when a weak rupee helps their billing math. Nifty IT fell 0.87 percent on Wednesday and 0.5 percent at Thursday open. Banks face a second channel through yields and funding costs. For home loans, no EMI change happens until RBI or your bank revises rates, so check fixed vs floating terms and reset dates. For mutual fund SIP holders, the same phase can test patience but also builds units at lower levels when markets dip. No stock call is made here.
What should investors watch next: 3 dated triggers
First, NSE price discovery today, 24 September at 10:00 AM IST on BSE. Watch the pre-open price against the Rs 1,825 to Rs 1,828 grey market signal, first hour volume, and whether the stock holds above Rs 1,785 after early trades. A large issue often swings wide in hour one before settling.
Second, US data and Fed talk this week after the hike. Jobless claims, current account and speeches by Fed officials on 24 September can shift October hike odds from 66 percent. A soft print can cool yields and help Nifty test 23,600. A hot print can lift the dollar index above 99.38 and push rupee back to 96.20.
Third, RBI October policy preview and crude. CPI at 4.82 percent in August, WTI above 90 dollars and 10-year near 7.07 percent keep October hike talk alive. Some desks expect no move if liquidity normalises, others flag 25 bps risk. Track Brent near 100 to 105 dollars and USD INR near 95.75 to 96.20 into the policy week. Education only, this is not SEBI investment advice.
Frequently asked questions
What is NSE listing time today on 24 September 2026?
As reported on 24 September 2026, NSE shares are scheduled to list at 10:00 AM IST on BSE, with trading also allowed on MSEI under permitted to trade category. The listing time was reported by Livemint on 24 September 2026. Price discovery happens in the pre-open session, so the first traded price can differ from the grey market estimate.
What is NSE GMP today and estimated listing price?
As reported on 24 September 2026 by Economic Times, Moneycontrol and NDTV Profit, NSE GMP today is around Rs 40 to Rs 43 per share, about 2.2 to 2.4 percent over the upper price band of Rs 1,785. At this GMP, the estimated listing price works out to around Rs 1,825 to Rs 1,828. Grey market trends change fast and this is only an indication, not the final price.
Why did NSE GMP crash from Rs 285 to Rs 43?
As reported in the week to 24 September 2026, GMP was near Rs 285 and around 21 percent on 17 September, then fell to Rs 45.5 on 22 September and Rs 40 to Rs 43 on listing day. Reports link the fall to valuation checks after strong QIB demand, a large Rs 22,561 crore offer size that locks capital, and weak global cues from Fed tightening and high crude. Retail subscription at 1.39 times stayed cautious while QIB interest stayed strong.
What are Sensex Nifty support and resistance today?
Nifty closed at 23,446.80 and Sensex at 74,828.25 on 23 September 2026. For 24 September, desks cited by Moneycontrol and Livemint track Nifty support near 23,350 and 23,285, with resistance at 23,489 to 23,600. GIFT Nifty near 23,258 points to early pressure on support. Bank Nifty support is near 56,000. These are reported levels, not trading advice.
Why did rupee cross 96 per dollar?
As reported on 24 September 2026, rupee weakened past 96 for the first time since 27 July 2026, after closing near 95.96. Reports cite FII selling of Rs 2,032.61 crore on Wednesday, importer demand for dollars, Brent near 102 dollars, rising US yields and a strong dollar index near 99.38. Reuters sources see a 95.75 to 96.20 range. RBI action can reduce sharp moves but does not fix a trend driven by oil and US rates.
Will Fed hike change home loan EMI and mutual fund SIP?
The Fed raised rates by 25 bps to 3.75 to 4.00 percent in September 2026, its first hike in over three years, with most officials expecting one more hike by year end. For India, reports point to higher bond yields, pressure on rupee and possible RBI caution in October. Home loan EMI changes only if RBI or banks revise rates, so check your loan type and reset date. For mutual fund SIP investors, volatility can lower purchase cost over time, but asset allocation should match risk capacity. This is education only, not SEBI advice.
