NSE sells 1% stake in Indian Gas Exchange to comply with regulatory norm

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) has offloaded around 1 per cent stake in Indian Gas Exchange (IGX), the country's first online delivery-based trading platform for natural gas, to comply with regulatory requirements, sources said on Monday. The stake sale is part of NSE's effort to align with Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) norms, which mandate that no single entity holds more than 25 per cent in the exchange. IGX operates an electronic trading platform for natural gas, offering spot, forward and delivery-based contracts. Following the latest dilution, NSE's shareholding in IGX has come down to 25 per cent. Notably, the exchange had acquired a 26 per cent stake in IGX for over Rs 19 crore in March 2021 to become a co-promoter, after securing approvals from PNGRB. Earlier this month,NSE partnered with IGX to introduce exchange-traded derivatives based on domestic natural gas prices.As part of the collaboration, NSE will launch natural gas futures contracts linke
