Synopsis: The NSE will add Bajaj Holdings, Premier Energies, Swiggy, and Waaree Energies to the F&O segment from 31 December 2025, providing investors and traders with new avenues for derivatives trading and improved price discovery.
The National Stock Exchange has announced the introduction of Bajaj Holdings & Investment Limited, Premier Energies Limited, Swiggy Limited, and Waaree Energies Limited in the Futures & Options (F&O) segment with effect from 31 December 2025.
The inclusion of these stocks in the derivatives segment is expected to enhance liquidity, improve price discovery, and provide investors and traders with additional avenues for hedging and trading strategies in these actively tracked companies.
In October, the NSE declared that Cyient, HFCL, NCC, and Titagarh Rail Systems would be excluded from the Futures & Options segment. Consequently, all derivative contracts in these stocks will cease to be available for trading with effect from 31 December.
The Futures & Options (F&O) universe in India consists of a select set of highly liquid stocks and key indices traded on the NSE, such as NIFTY 50, Bank Nifty, Nifty Financial Services, Nifty Midcap Select, and Nifty Next 50.
Out of thousands of listed companies, only 208 stocks are typically part of the F&O segment at any given time. This universe is dynamic and reviewed periodically, with stocks being added or removed based on liquidity, market capitalisation, and trading activity to ensure efficient price discovery and risk management.
SEBI eligibility criteria
Only companies ranking within the top 500 based on average daily traded value and market capitalisation over a rolling six-month period are considered for inclusion in the derivatives segment.
Stocks must maintain a minimum market-wide position limit of Rs. 1,500 crore on a rolling basis, along with sufficient liquidity measured through quarter-sigma metrics, requiring a median order size of at least Rs. 75 lakh over the past six months. Additionally, the average daily deliverable value in the cash market should be no less than Rs. 35 crore during the same period to meet SEBI’s eligibility benchmarks for the F&O segment.
