Lot and strike price information
NSE has said that on March 30, 2026, members will be informed about the market lot and strike price through a separate circular.
Why Are shares added to F&O segment?
The purpose of adding shares in the F&O segment is to increase trading volume and maturity. When a stock falls in this segment, big institutions like mutual funds and foreign investors do more trading on it. This makes buying and selling shares easier. Trading in F&O helps investors find out the true value of shares because here both buyers and sellers are betting on future expectations. In the cash market, profit cannot be made if the shares fall, but in the F&O segment, you have the option to sell the shares first or buy them when they fall and earn profits.
