New Delhi, Feb. 28 -- The National Stock Exchange (NSE) shares will not be listed on its own platform when it goes public, said Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Ashish Chauhan, stressing that Indian regulations do no permit exchanges to self-list.

"It's a regulation of India, and we have to abide by that," Ashish Chauhan told news agency ANI, explaining that as a regulated institution, the NSE cannot regulate itself and must therefore list on an alternative stock exchange.

His remarks come after NSE was granted a no-objection certificate by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) in January, putting an end to nine years of waiting.

Chauhan also noted that the exchange will need a few months to prepare and file it...
