The National Stock Exchange (NSE) had filed the application with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) last year.
It had sought a settlement with the regulator in connection with a probe relating to allegations of unfair access to its high frequency trading systems to some brokers.
A consent settlement allows entities to settle charges by paying a penalty without admission or denial of guilt.
The queries sent to the National Stock Exchange (NSE) on the status of the settlement plea remained unanswered.
The bourse's Rs 10,000 crore initial public offer has been delayed because of probe in the co-location matter and the regulator had earlier issued show cause notices to several individuals and the exchange, while the role of some brokers is also being probed.
