The National Stock Exchange (NSE) announced that from August 29, 2025, eight stocks will be barred from the Futures and Options (F&O) segment. This move is a part of the exchange’s periodic review to ensure compliance with regulatory norms and market-wide position limits.
The stocks that are excluded from the segment are Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail (ABFRL), Adani Total Gas, CESC, Granules India, IRB Infrastructure Developers, Jindal Stainless, Poonawalla Fincorp, and SJVN.
When a stock is removed from the F&O segment, it usually sees a decline in both trading volumes and liquidity. Once the stock is removed, traders will lose the ability to use its hedging and speculative tools, leading to less participation, selling pressure on an outlier basis, and increased short-term volatility. In the long term, the fundamentals of a stock will generally not be this affected unless there is deterioration in a general sense in the said market or sector.
