Currently, NSDL trades at a P/E of around 77, which is higher than rival CDSL’s P/E of 66. Experts say this premium reflects investor confidence in NSDL’s scale, technology edge, and institutional trust.
Investment Risks Noted
Analysts warn that valuations may cool off if market activity slows. Risks include cybersecurity threats, transaction volume dependency, and regulatory compliance—areas that new investors should factor in.
Investor Sentiment Strong
According to market experts, NSDL’s strong rally underlines solid investor belief in its market infrastructure role. Both retail and institutional buyers seem to be backing the stock, banking on its long-term growth trajectory.
