India’s first automated national-level natural gas trading platform, Indian Gas Exchange (IGX), has filed draft papers with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to launch its initial public offering (IPO). The proposed issue is entirely an offer for sale (OFS) by promoter Indian Energy Exchange (IEX), meaning IGX will not receive any proceeds from the offering. The listing is aimed at enhancing the company’s visibility while helping IEX reduce its stake to comply with regulatory requirements.
