NSDL IPO vs CDSL: Here's what key numbers reveal for investors
NSDL has set a price band for its IPO in the range of ₹760 to ₹800. The lot for an application is 18 shares. A retail investor would require a minimum investment amount of ₹14,400 to bid for one lot at the upper end price. The IPO will close for bidding on Friday, August 1, 2025. Shares of NSDL will make their debut on the BSE, tentatively on Wednesday, August 6.
Amid the buzz around the NSDL IPO, investors are closely watching its closest and only listed rival, Central Depository Services (CDSL).
NSDL, at the upper end of the offer price, is valued at 46.6x as compared to 64.1x of CDSL on FY25 earnings.
"It is worth noting that the premium valuation being enjoyed by CDSL is mainly because of its margin profile as compared to NSDL and its rising market share," according to a report by Equinomics Research.
G Chokkalingam, founder and head of research at Equinomics Research, stated in the report that while CDSL appears superior to NSDL in terms of growth profile, the NSDL IPO may still offer tactical listing gains, given its considerable discount to CDSL at the upper end of the IPO price band. Hence, investors may consider subscribing to the issue for a possible tactical listing gain.

Expansion plans & easing asset woes to lift CreditAccess
ET Intelligence Group: The stock of CreditAccess Grameen has gained nearly 12% over the past eight trading sessions after the country's largest microfinance lender announced the appointment of Ganesh Narayanan as the new managing director and CEO on August 6 after RBI's approval. The sector indices have gained over 1% during the period. The company has undertaken accelerated write-offs to clean up the loan book , which has resulted in higher credit costs. The situation is expected to normalise from the December quarter. Given the company's plan to open 200 branches in the current fiscal year and receding pressure on asset quality , the credit growth is expected to be higher in the second half of the current fiscal year. Dwindling credit quality in the microfinance segment over the past few quarters has affected the performance of CreditAccess. For its overall portfolio, 90-day PAR (portfolio at risk ratio) shot up to 3.3% from 1.1% in the year-ago quarter. The company has suffered a greater asset quality stress in Karnataka, which accounts for nearly one-third of its loan book. The PAR ratio for Karnataka in the 90 days and above category increased to 5.1% in the June quarter from 2.4% in the previous quarter. Live Events According to the company management, Karnataka has started showing stabilisation in PAR in the current quarter. In addition, the implementation of stricter norms for loan disbursement has reduced the proportion of highly leveraged borrowers (which have borrowed from three or more lenders) to 11.4% in June from 25.3% last August. The credit cost increased to ₹571.9 crore in the June quarter from ₹420.1 crore in the September 2024 quarter. This was largely due to accelerated write-offs as the proportion of new PAR accretion in the credit cost fell to 61% from 90% during the period. This raises hope that credit costs may ease in the second half of the current fiscal year. Apart from asset cleanup, the company has also increased focus on retail financing, which is likely to form 12-15% of the loan book by FY28. The segment contributed 7% to the gross loans in the June quarter compared with 3% in the year-ago quarter. Axis Securities expects annual growth in loan book and net profit at 18% and over 50% between FY25 and FY28. It has raised target price to ₹1,485 from earlier ₹1,350, implying FY27 expected price-book multiple of 2.5. Stock was last traded at ₹1,351 on Tuesday on the BSE.
