BSE Ltd.'s share price fell on Thursday after sources told NDTV Profit that SEBI may consider granting the National Stock Exchange of India Tuesday as its expiry date.
SEBI is likely to finalise a proposal to fix all equity futures and options expiries on Tuesdays and Thursdays, people in the know told NDTV Profit. NSE has applied for Tuesday as their weekly expiry, and the regulator may consider the request, they added.
This is a disadvantage for BSE, as its expiry day is currently set at Tuesday.
NSE has shifted the monthly and quarterly expiry days of futures and options contracts of Nifty, Bank Nifty, FinNifty, Nifty Midcap Select, and Nifty Next50 to the "last Monday of the expiry month."
The changes came into effect from April 4, 2025.
NSE also shifted the expiry days of Nifty weekly contracts to Monday from Thursday. In addition, the exchange has also moved the expiry days of Nifty half-yearly contracts to Monday from Thursday.
