The National Stock Exchange (NSE) has announced a key update impacting derivatives trading. Starting August 1, 2025, no new futures and options (F&O) contracts will be issued for five stocks—ACC Limited, Balkrishna Industries Limited, Chambal Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited, Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services Limited, and Tata Communications Limited.
Effective August 1, 2025, no new F&O contracts will be available for trading in these securities. However, existing unexpired contracts for May, June, and July 2025 will remain tradable until their respective expiry dates, with new strikes introduced in these months.
This decision aligns with SEBI’s updated eligibility criteria for stocks in the derivatives segment. Investors and traders are advised to adjust their strategies accordingly, as the cessation of new contracts may impact liquidity and trading opportunities in these securities.
