Sahny, DSE director and chairman of the demutualization committee, said. Two foreign entities, Kuwait-based Noor Investments Ltd and US-based Horizon Assets Management Co, have also bid for stake in the bourse.
Sahny said the bids have been received at an enterprise value between Rs400 crore and Rs500 crore. At this value, the share price comes to about Rs130-165 apiece, he added.
The demutualization process will be completed by the 28 August deadline set by the Securities and Exchange Board of India. It will take another 100 days to resume operations.
