Of these eight stocks, six counters were only recently added to the F&O segment, on November 29, 2024. These are Adani Total Gas, CESC, IRB Infrastructure Developers, Jindal Stainless, Poonawalla Fincorp, and SJVN.
Analysts have previously said that inclusion in the derivatives segment can significantly enhance trading volumes and price discovery for these stocks. These stocks were added only after achieving higher liquidity and size thresholds.
Earlier, in May, the NSE had excluded Aarti Industries, Birlasoft, Hindustan Copper, Mahanagar Gas, and Piramal Enterprises, effective August 1, 2025. Furthermore, in March, the stock exchange had decided to remove Apollo Tyres, Deepak Nitrite, Escorts Kubota, MRF, and The Ramco Cements from the F&O segment, effective May 27 onwards.
For the financial year ended March, the NSE saw a 47 percent YoY jump in net profit at Rs 12,188 crore. For the January-March quarter, the stock exchange reported its net profit at Rs 2,650 crore, down 31 percent on a sequential basis from Rs 3,834 crore in Q3FY25.
