Bajaj Holdings, Swiggy among 4 to join F&O list from December 31st

National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) on Thursday announced the introduction of futures and options (F&O) contracts on four individual securities, effective December 31, 2025.

The new additions to the derivatives segment are Bajaj Holdings and Investment Limited, Premier Energies Limited, Swiggy Limited, and Waaree Energies Limited. The inclusion is based on stock selection criteria prescribed by SEBI in its August 30, 2024 circular. Inclusion of stocks in F&O boosts its liquidity, visibility, and trading opportunities, allowing investors to hedge portfolios.

NSE said details on market lot sizes and strike price schemes will be issued through a separate circular on December 30, 2025. Information on quantity freeze limits will be available in the contract file applicable from the launch date.

In August 2024 SEBI had introduced new criteria for F&O stocks, which specified that, stock's Median Quarter Sigma Order Size (MQSOS) must now be at least Rs 75 lakh, up from the previous size of Rs 25 lakh. Additionally, the Market Wide Position Limit (MWPL) was increased to at least Rs 1,500 crore from Rs 500 crore earlier. The stock's Average Daily Delivery Value in the cash market was revised to Rs 35 crore, up from Rs 10 crore, due to a significant increase in average daily delivery value.
