The regulator is inclined to settle the legal issue, they said, which would enable the world's largest derivative exchange by contracts to secure a no-objection certificate.
SEBI
had previously halted NSE's listing plans due to several ongoing cases dating back to 2015, involving allegations that some high-speed traders gained unfair access to its
co-location
servers. The regulator's investigation not only derailed the exchange's
IPO
ambitions in 2016, but also later resulted in the
NSE
being banned from accessing capital markets for six months.

The NSE in October paid 6.4 billion rupees to the regulator to settle a case involving alleged unfair access to its trading platform.
An email sent to SEBI's press office was unanswered, while a NSE spokesperson declined to comment.
Signs of a potential
settlement
emerged after SEBI's newly appointed Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey said last week that the regulator is working closely with the NSE to resolve issues hindering its IPO.
Following the exchange's annual earnings earlier this month, Chief Executive Officer Ashish Kumar Chauhan told analysts and investors that the regulator had identified four areas requiring resolution, including pending legal cases.
Meanwhile, investor interest in NSE remains robust. The exchange, backed by investors like Life Insurance Corp. of India and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, has seen its private market valuation jump from $36 billion in September to $50 billion, according to a marketing material posted on Linkedin last week by US-based investment firm Drew Investments.
Drew Investments is raising a special purpose vehicle to invest in NSE at 1,550 rupees to 1,700 rupees per share.

Korean firm makes more phones across most segments and has higher volumes: S&P report Surajeet Das Gupta New Delhi Listen to This Article Samsung's global volume share of final assembling of smartphones in India might not get the same focus as that of Apple Inc because of the latter's aggressive export strategy and higher average selling price leading to higher value.

ADVERTISEMENT Under the new requirements -- which industry groups have said are complex and slow-moving -- seven key elements and related magnets require Beijing's approval to be shipped to foreign buyers. Why Does USA Need Rare Earths? ADVERTISEMENT Ensuring access to the vital elements became a top priority for US officials in talks with Chinese counterparts."The rare earth issue has clearly... overpowered the other parts of the trade negotiations because of stoppages at plants in the United States," said Paul Triolo, a technology expert at the Asia Society Policy Institute's Center for China Analysis, in an online seminar on Monday. ADVERTISEMENT That disruption, which forced US car giant Ford to temporarily halt production of its Explorer SUV, "really got the attention of the White House", said reportedly rely on Chinese rare earths for producing its defence equipment even as trade and geopolitical tensions deepen.
