The National Stock Exchange on Monday released a list of eight stocks that will be excluded from the derivatives segment from the end of August.
Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd., Adani Total Gas Ltd., CESC Ltd., Granules India Ltd., IRB Infrastructure Developers Ltd., Jindal Stainless Ltd., Poonawalla Fincorp Ltd., and SJVN Ltd. will be excluded from F&O contracts with effect from Aug. 29, 2025.
NSE said the existing unexpired contracts of expiry months June 2025, July 2025, and August 2025 would continue to be available for trading till their respective expiries, and new strikes would also be introduced in the existing contract months.
"Accordingly, no contracts shall be available for trading in the above-mentioned securities with effect from August 29, 2025," the circular said.
Traders will not be able to create new positions in these stocks in the F&O segment after the effective date. Investors will only be able to trade them in the cash market. This exclusion is typically initiated by stock exchanges to manage risk and enhance market efficiency.
SEBI, the market regulator, is responsible for making eligibility criteria for stocks in the derivatives segment, leading to this exclusion.
Futures contracts obligate the holder to buy or sell an asset at a specific price on a future date. Options contracts give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an asset at a specific price on or before a future date.
