The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE), headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra, will add four new companies—360 One Wam Ltd, Amber Enterprises India Ltd, Kfin Technologies Ltd, and PG Electroplast Ltd—to its Futures & Options (F&O) segment starting June 27, 2025, subject to eligibility criteria. The move follows SEBI’s updated norms for derivatives inclusion, increasing thresholds for liquidity and trading activity.
The National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India, one of the country’s premier stock exchanges headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra, announced that it will include four new stocks in its Futures and Options (F&O) segment starting June 27, 2025, subject to eligibility. The companies to be added are:
- 360 One Wam Ltd – A leading wealth and asset management firm in India.
- Amber Enterprises India Ltd – A key manufacturer of air conditioning and component solutions.
- Kfin Technologies Ltd – A financial services platform providing registry and transfer agency services.
- PG Electroplast Ltd – A manufacturer of plastic molding and electronic goods with end-to-end EMS solutions.
NSE stated that the market lot and strike price scheme for these stocks will be issued on June 26, 2025, via a separate circular. The addition of these four stocks increases the options available to investors and traders for hedging and speculative trading, enabling participation without needing to own the underlying shares.
The NSE currently has around 200 stocks in its derivatives segment and follows guidelines from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for selection. The criteria include average market capitalization, trading volume, and liquidity metrics over a six-month period.
In line with SEBI’s recent August 30, 2024 reforms, the Median Quarter Sigma Order Size (MQSOS) threshold was increased from ₹25 lakh to ₹75 lakh to improve liquidity and limit price manipulation. Additionally, the market-wide position limit was raised from ₹500 crore to ₹1,500 crore, and the average daily delivery value requirement was increased from ₹10 crore to ₹35 crore.
Stocks that fail to meet these updated benchmarks for three consecutive months will be excluded from the derivatives segment. However, existing F&O contracts will remain valid until their expiration.
This move by NSE reflects its continued alignment with regulatory enhancements and aims to foster transparency, stability, and robust market participation.
