The Supreme Court disposed of SEBI's appeals against the National Stock Exchange (NSE) regarding the co-location and dark fibre cases.

The settlement amount comprises ₹1,224 crore for the co-location case and ₹268 crore for the dark fibre (leased-line connectivity) case.
The cases originated from 2015 whistle-blower allegations regarding preferential access to NSE trading systems for certain brokers.

The NSE's upcoming IPO is projected to raise approximately ₹30,000 crore, potentially becoming one of the largest in Indian capital market history.
