NSDL Shares Surge 65% Post-IPO, Hitting 52-Week High Amid Robust Trading

National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL) shares extended their rally, climbing 0.55% to ₹1,307.50 by midday, marking a 65% gain from its ₹800 IPO price. The stock peaked at ₹1,425 during the session, setting a fresh 52-week high. Since its August 6, 2025 listing, NSDL has drawn intense investor interest, with 304.84 lakh shares traded and a turnover of ₹4,164.18 crore.

Analysts attribute the momentum to strong IPO demand, post-listing euphoria, and NSDL's dominance as India's largest depository. Nitin Jain of Bonanza noted the company's resilient business model and favorable market conditions as key drivers. Yet, he cautioned short-term investors to consider profit-taking after the sharp ascent, warning of potential consolidation ahead.

Long-term holders may find value in NSDL's growth trajectory amid expanding demat adoption, though volatility is expected. The stock's VWAP of ₹1,366 reflects sustained demand, but the pace of gains suggests a near-term ceiling.
